from the traffic situation and lose control of
the vehicle. There is a risk of an accident and
injury.
Only use the cup holder when the vehicle is
stationary. Only place containers of a suitable size in the cup holder. Seal the container, in
particular when it contains hot liquid.
! Only use the cup holders for containers of
the right size and which have lids. The drinks
could otherwise spill. G
WARNING
If objects in the passenger compartment are
stowed incorrectly, they can slide or be
thrown around and hit vehicle occupants. In
addition, cupholders, open stowage spaces
and mobile phone brackets cannot always
retain all objects they contain. There is a risk of injury, particularly in the event of sudden
braking or a sudden change in direction.
R Always stow objects so that they cannot be
thrown around in such situations.
R Always make sure that objects do not pro-
trude from stowage spaces, parcel nets or
stowage nets.
R Close the lockable stowage spaces before
starting a journey.
R Always stow and secure heavy, hard, poin-
ted, sharp-edged, fragile or bulky objects in
the boot.
! Do not expose drinks bottles in the cup
holder in the centre console to continuous,
strong and direct sunlight. The passenger
compartment in the area of the centre con-
sole can otherwise be damaged by the con-
centrated and reflected sunlight.

Vehicle tool kit
General notes The vehicle tool kit can be found in the stowage
well under the boot floor (Y page 269).
Apart from some country-specific variants, vehi-
cles are not equipped with tyre-changing tools.
Some tools for changing a wheel are specific to the vehicle. For more information on which tools
are required to perform a wheel change on your vehicle, consult a qualified specialist workshop.
Necessary tyre-changing tools can include, for
example:
R Jack
R Wheel chock
R Wheel wrench
i The jack weighs approximately 2.1 kg.
The maximum load bearing capacity of the
jack can be found on the adhesive label on the jack.
The jack is maintenance-free. If there is a
malfunction, please contact a qualified spe-
cialist workshop.

The tyre inflation compressor is switched on.
The tyre is inflated.
First, tyre sealant is pumped into the tyre. The pressure may briefly rise to approximately
500 kPa (5 bar/73 psi).
Do not switch off the tyre inflation com-
pressor during this phase.
X Let the tyre inflation compressor run for a
maximum of five minutes. The tyre should
then have attained a pressure of at least
180 kPa (1.8 bar/26 psi).
If a pressure of 180 kPa (1.8 bar/26 psi) has
been attained after five minutes, see "Tyre pres-
sure reached" (Y page 301).
If a tyre pressure of 180 kPa (1.8 bar/26 psi) has not been attained after five minutes, see "Tyre
pressure not reached" (Y page 301).
If tyre sealant leaks out, make sure you clean the
affected area as quickly as possible. It is pref-
erable to use clear water.
If you get tyre sealant on your clothing, have it
cleaned as soon as possible with perchloroethy- lene. 300

Blown fuses must be replaced with fuses of the
same rating, which you can recognise by the
colour and fuse rating. The fuse ratings are listed in the fuse allocation chart.
The fuse allocation chart is located in the vehicletool kit in the stowage compartment under the
boot floor (Y page 297).
If the newly inserted fuse also blows, have the
cause traced and rectified at a qualified special-
ist workshop, e.g. a Mercedes-Benz Service
Centre.
! Only use fuses that have been approved for
Mercedes-Benz vehicles and which have the
correct fuse rating for the system concerned.
Otherwise, components or systems could be
damaged.
! Make sure that no moisture can enter the
fuse box when the cover is open.
! When closing the cover, make sure that it is
lying correctly on the fuse box. Moisture seep-
ing in or dirt could otherwise impair the oper-
ation of the fuses.
The fuses in your vehicle disconnect faulty cir-
cuits. If a fuse blows, all the components on the
circuit and their functions will fail. Before replacing a fuse

Securing the vehicle against rolling
away If your vehicle is equipped with a wheel chock, it
can be found in the tyre-change tool kit
(Y page 297).
The folding wheel chock is an additional secur-
ing measure to safeguard the vehicle from roll-
ing away, for example when changing a wheel.
X Fold both plates upwards :.
X Fold out lower plate ;.
X Insert the lugs on the lower plate fully into the
openings in base plate =.X
Place chocks or other suitable items under
the front and rear of the wheel that is diago-
nally opposite the wheel you wish to change.
Raising the vehicle G
WARNING
If you do not position the jack correctly at the appropriate jacking point of the vehicle, the jack could tip over with the vehicle raised.
There is a risk of injury.
Only position the jack at the appropriate jack- ing point of the vehicle. The base of the jack
must be positioned vertically, directly under
the jacking point of the vehicle.
Observe the following when raising the vehicle:
R to raise the vehicle, only use the vehicle-spe-
cific jack that has been tested and approved
by Mercedes-Benz. If the jack is used incor-
rectly, it could tip over while the vehicle is
raised.
R the jack is designed only to raise and hold the
vehicle for a short time while a wheel is being
changed. It is not permissible to use it to per- form maintenance work under the vehicle.
R avoid changing the wheel on uphill and down-
hill slopes.
R before raising the vehicle, safeguard it from
rolling away by applying the parking brake and
positioning wheel chocks. Do not release the parking brake while the vehicle is raised.
R the jack must be placed on a firm, flat and
non-slip surface. On a loose surface, a large,
flat load-bearing underlay must be used. On a
slippery surface, a non-slip underlay must be
used, e.g. rubber mats.
R do not use wooden blocks or similar objects
as a jack underlay. Otherwise, the jack will not
be able to achieve its load-bearing capacity
due to the restricted height.
R make sure that the distance between the
underside of the tyres and the ground does
not exceed 3 cm.
R never place your hands or feet under the
raised vehicle.
R do not lie under the vehicle.
R do not start the engine when the vehicle is
raised.
R do not open or close a door or the boot lid
when the vehicle is raised.
R make sure that no persons are present in the
vehicle when the vehicle is raised. 322

X Unscrew the remaining wheel bolts fully.
X Remove the wheel.
Fitting a new wheel G
WARNING
Oiled or greased wheel bolts or damaged
wheel bolts/hub threads can cause the wheel bolts to come loose. As a result, you could
lose a wheel while driving. There is a risk of
accident.
Never oil or grease wheel bolts. In the event ofdamage to the threads, contact a qualified
specialist workshop immediately. Have the
damaged wheel bolts or hub threads
replaced/renewed. Do not continue driving. G
WARNING
If you tighten the wheel bolts or wheel nuts
when the vehicle is raised, the jack could tip
over. There is a risk of injury.
Only tighten the wheel bolts or wheel nuts
when the vehicle is on the ground.
It is imperative to observe the instructions and
safety notes on "Changing a wheel"
(Y page 321).
Only use wheel bolts that have been designed
for the wheel and the vehicle. For safety rea-
sons, Mercedes-Benz recommends that you
only use wheel bolts which have been approved for Mercedes-Benz vehicles and the respective
wheel. X
Clean the wheel and wheel hub contact sur-
faces.
X Slide the wheel to be mounted onto the cen-
tring pin and push it on.
X Tighten the wheel bolts until they are finger-
tight.
X Unscrew the centring pin.
X Tighten the last wheel bolt until it is finger-
tight.
Lowering the vehicle G
WARNING
The wheels could work loose if the wheel nuts and bolts are not tightened to the specified
tightening torque. There is a risk of accident.
Have the tightening torque immediately
checked at a qualified specialist workshop
after a wheel is changed.
X Turn the crank of the jack anti-clockwise until
the vehicle is once again standing firmly on
the ground.
X Place the jack to one side. X
Tighten the wheel bolts evenly in a crosswise
pattern in the sequence indicated (: toA).
The specified tightening torque is 130 Nm.
X Turn the jack back to its initial position.
X Stow the jack and the rest of the tyre-change
tool kit in the boot again.
X Vehicles with AMG equipment: insert the
cover into the outer sill.
