R to raise the vehicle, only use the vehicle-
specific jack that has been tested and
approved by Mercedes-Benz. If used
incorrectly ,the jack coul dtip over with the
vehicle raised.
R the jack is designed only to raise and hold
the vehicle for ashort time while awheel
is being changed .Itisnot suited for
performing maintenance work under the
vehicle.
R avoid changing the wheel on uphilla nd
downhill slopes.
R before raising the vehicle, secure it from

and inserting wheel chocks. Never
disengage the parking brake while the
vehicle is raised.
R the jack must be placed on afirm, flat and
non-slip surface. On aloose surface, a
large, load-bearing underlay must be used.
On aslippery surface, anon-slip underlay
must be used, e.g. rubber mats.
R do not use wooden blocks or similar
objects as ajack underlay.O therwise, the
jack will not be able to achieve its load-
bearing capacity du etothe restricted
height.
R make sure tha tthe distance between the
underside of the tires and the ground does
not exceed 1.2 in (3 cm).
R never place your hands and feet under the
raised vehicle.
R never lie under the raised vehicle.

monitor cannot function reliably. Only
restart the tire pressure loss warning
system/the tire pressure monitor when the
damaged whee lhas been replaced with a
new wheel.
Vehicles with tire pressure monitor:
after mounting an emergency spare wheel,
the system may still display the tire
pressure of the removed whee lfor afew
minutes. The value displayed for the
mounted emergenc yspare wheel is not the
same as the current tire pressure of the
emergenc yspare wheel.
An emergenc yspare wheel may also be
mounted against the direction of rotation.
Observe the time restriction on use as well as
the speed limitation specified on the
emergenc yspare wheel.
Replace the tires after six years at the latest,
regardless of wear. This also applies to the
emergenc yspare wheel. Removing the emergency sparew
