Mounting a new wheel
GWARNING
Oiled or greased wheel bolts/wheel nuts and
damaged wheel bolt/wheel nut/wheel hub
threads can cause wheel bolts/wheel nuts to
come loose. As a result, you could lose a
wheel while driving. There is a risk of an acci-
dent.
Never oil or grease wheel bolts/wheel nuts. In
the event of damage to the threads, contact a
qualified specialist workshop immediately.
Have the damaged wheel bolts/wheel nuts or
hub threads replaced/renewed. Do not con-
tinue driving.
GWARNING
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.
!To prevent damage to the paintwork, hold
the wheel securely against the wheel hub
while screwing in the first wheel bolt.
Always pay attention to the instructions and
safety notes in the "Changing a wheel" section
(
Ypage 281).
XClean the wheel and wheel hub contact sur-
faces.
XPlace the new wheel on the wheel hub and
push it on.
XTighten the wheel bolts until they are finger-
tight.
Lowering the vehicle
GWARNING
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.
XOpen the pressure release screw on the jack
using the pump lever (Ypage 282) by approx-
imately one turn.
XLower the vehicle until it is once again stand-
ing firmly on the ground.
XPlace the jack to one side.
XTighten the wheel bolts evenly in a crosswise pattern in the sequence indicated (: toA).
The specified tightening torque is 96 lb-ft
(130 Nm).
XDisassemble the pump lever.
XPush the jack piston back in and close the
drain plug.
XUse the bolts to secure the faulty wheel to the
spare wheel bracket (Ypage 249).
XStow the jack and the vehicle tools in the
vehicle again.
XCheck the tire pressure of the newly installed
wheel and adjust it if necessary.
A table with the tire pressures for your vehicle can be found on the B-pillar on the driver's
side.

GWarning
A flat tire severely impairs the driving, steer-
ing and braking characteristics of the vehicle.
There is a risk of an accident.
do not drive with a flat tire. Immediately
replace the flat tire with your spare wheel, or
consult a qualified specialist workshop.
!For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you only use tires, wheels and
accessories which have been approved by
Mercedes-Benz specifically for your vehicle.
These tires have been specially adapted for
use with the driving safety systems, such as
ABS or ESP
®.
Only use tires, 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, tire dimension variations
could cause the tires to come into contact
with the bodywork and axle components. This
could result in damage to the tires or the vehi-
cle.
Mercedes-Benz accepts no liability for dam-
age resulting from the use of tires, wheels or
accessories other than those tested and
approved.
Further information about wheels, tires and
approved combinations can be obtained from
any authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
iThe recommended pressures for various
operating conditions can be found:
Ron the Tire and Loading Information placard
with the recommended tire pressures on
the B-pillar on the driver's side
Rin the tire pressure table on the inside of the
fuel filler flap
Observe the notes on recommended tire
pressure under various operating conditions.
Check tire pressures regularly, and only when
the tires are cold. Comply with the mainte-
nance recommendations of the tire manufac-
turer in the vehicle document wallet.
Further information on recommended tire pres-
sure as well as tire pressures for specific driving situations (
Ypage 279).
iNotes on the vehicle equipment – always
equip the vehicle with:
Rtires of the same size on a given axle (left/
right)
Rtires of the same type on your vehicle at a
given time (summer tires, winter tires, all-
weather tires, all-terrain tires)
iThe following pages contain information on
approved wheels and tire sizes for equipping
your vehicle with winter tires. Winter tires are
not available at the factory as standard equip-
ment or optional extras.
If you want to equip your vehicle with
approved winter tires, it may be necessary to
obtain wheel rims in the corresponding size.
The size of the approved winter tires may dif-
fer from the standard tires. This is dependent
on the model and the equipment installed at
the factory.
The tires and wheel rims, as well as further
information, can be obtained at a qualified
specialist workshop.
iNot all wheel and tire combinations are
available at the factory for all countries.
