X
Put hub cap :in position and turn until it is in
the right position.
X Position socket ;on hub cap :.
X Attach wheel wrench =to socket ;and
tighten hub cap :.
The tightening torque must be 25 Nm.
i Note
that the hub cap should be tightened
to the specified torque of 25 Nm. Mercedes-
Benz recommends that you have the hub cap
fitted at a qualified specialist workshop. X
Using wheel wrench =, loosen the bolts on
the wheel you wish to change by about one
full turn. Do not unscrew the bolts completely. The jacking point is centred between the front
and rear wheel arches (arrow). X
Position jack Aat jacking point ?. X
Make sure that the base of the jack is posi-
tioned directly under the jacking point.
X Turn crank Bclockwise until jack Asits
completely on jacking point ?and the base
of the jack lies evenly on the ground.
X Turn crank Buntil the tyre is raised a maxi-
mum of 3 cm off the ground.
Removing a wheel !
AMG ceramic high performance compound
brake system:
When detaching or attaching the wheel, the
wheel rim may hit against the ceramic brake
disc and damage it.
For this reason, you should proceed carefully. Request the assistance of a second person or
use a second centring pin.
! Do not place wheel bolts in sand or dirt. The
threads of the wheel bolts and wheel hubs
could otherwise be damaged when the bolts
are tightened.
When fitting/removing wheels, and for as long
as the wheels are removed, avoid applying any
external force on the brake discs. This could
impair the level of comfort when braking. 270
Changing a wheelWheels and tyres

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.
! Vehicles with a collapsible emergency
spare wheel: Inflate the collapsible emer-
gency spare wheel using the tyre inflation
compressor before lowering the vehicle. The
rim could otherwise be damaged.
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 180 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 load compartment again.
X Check the air pressure of the newly fitted
wheel and adjust accordingly.
Observe the recommended tyre pressure
(Y page 264).
If you are driving with the emergency spare
wheel fitted, the tyre pressure monitor cannot
function reliably. Only restart the tyre pressure
monitor when the defective wheel has been
replaced with a new wheel. All fitted wheels
must be equipped with functioning sensors. Wheel and tyre combinations
You can ask for information regarding permitted
wheel-tyre combinations at a Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre.
! For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you only use tyres and wheels
which have been approved by Mercedes-Benz specifically for your vehicle.
These are specially adapted to the control
systems, such as ABS or ESP ®
and are
marked as follows:
R MO = Mercedes-Benz Original
R MOE = Mercedes-Benz Original Extended
(tyres featuring run-flat characteristics)
R MO1 = Mercedes-Benz Original (only cer-
tain AMG tyres)
Mercedes-Benz Original Extended tyres may
only be used on wheels that have been spe-
cifically approved by Mercedes-Benz.
Only use tyres, wheels or accessories tested
and approved by Mercedes-Benz. Certain
characteristics, e.g. handling, vehicle noise
emissions or fuel consumption, may other-
wise be adversely affected. In addition, when
driving with a load, tyre dimension variations
could cause the tyres to come into contact
with the bodywork and axle components. This
could result in damage to the tyres or the
vehicle.
Mercedes-Benz accepts no liability for dam-
age resulting from the use of tyres, wheels or accessories other than those tested and
approved.
Further information about wheels, tyres and
approved combinations can be obtained from
any qualified specialist workshop.
! Retreaded tyres are neither tested nor rec-
ommended by Mercedes-Benz, since previ-
ous damage cannot always be detected on
retreaded tyres. As a result, Mercedes-Benz
cannot guarantee vehicle safety if retreaded
tyres are fitted. Do not fit used tyres if you
have no information about their previous
usage.
! Large wheels: the lower the section width
for a certain wheel size, the lower the ride
comfort is on poor road surfaces. Roll comfort and suspension comfort are reduced and therisk of damage to the wheels and tyres as a
result of driving over obstacles increases. 272
