You can fin dinformation on what to do in the

tance" (Y page 224). Interchanging th
ewheels G
WARNING
Interchangin gthe front and rear wheels may
severely impair the driving characteristics if
the wheels or tyres have different dimensions. The whee lbrakes or suspension components
may alsobed amaged. There is arisk of acci-
dent.
Interchange front and rear wheels only if the
wheels and tyres are of the same dimensions.
! On vehicles fitted with
atyre pressure mon-
itor, electronic components are located in the wheel.
Tyre-fitting tools should not be appliedint he
area of the valve ,asthis coul ddamage the
electronic components.
Only have tyres changed at aqualified spe-
cialist workshop.
Interchanging front and rear wheels of differing
dimensions can render the genera loperating
permi tinvalid.
Always pay attention to the instructions and
safety notes under "Changing awheel"
(Y page2 43). The wear patterns on the front and rear tyres
diffe
rdepending on the operating conditions.
Interchange the wheels before aclear wear pat-
tern has formed on the tyres. Frontt yres typi-
cally wear more on the shoulders, while rear
tyres wear more in the centre.
On vehicles that have front and rear wheels of
the same size, you can interchange the wheels
every 5,000 to 10,00 0kmd epending on the
degree of tyre wear. Ensure that the direction of
rotation is maintained.
Clean the contact surfaces of the wheel and the
brake disc thoroughly every time awheel is
interchanged. Check the tyre pressure and reac-
tivate the tyre pressure monitor if necessary
(Y page 241). Direction of rotation
Tyres with aspecifie ddirection of rotation have
additional benefits, e.g. if there is ariskofa qua-
planing. You will only gain these benefit sifthe
correc tdirection of rotation is observed.
An arrow on th esidewall of th etyrei nd icates its
correc tdirection of rotation.
You may fit th espar ewhee lagainst th edirection

Raising the vehicle G
WARNING
If you do not position the jack correctl yatthe
appropriate jacking point of the vehicle, the
jack coul dtip over with the vehicl eraised.
There is arisk of injury.
Only position the jack at the appropriate jack-
ing point of the vehicle. The base of the jack
must be positioned vertically,d irectly under
the jacking point of the vehicle.
! Only position the jack at the appropriate
jacking point of the vehicle. Otherwise, you
coul ddamage the vehicle.
Observe the following whenr aisingthe vehi-
cle:
R Use only the vehicle-specific jack that has
been tested and approved by Mercedes-Benz
to rais ethe vehicle. If the jack is used incor-
rectly, it coul dtip over while the vehicl eis
raised.
R The jack is designed only to rais ethe vehicle
for ashort time while awhee lisb eing
changed .Itisnot permissible to use it to per-
form maintenance work under the vehicle. R
Avoid changing the whee lonuphilland down-
hill slopes.
R Before raising the vehicle, secur eitagainst
rolling away by applying the parking brake and
positioning whee lchocks. Do not release the
parking brake whil ethe vehicl eisraised.
R The jack must be place donafirm, flatand
non-slip surface. On aloo se surface, alarge,
fla tload-beari ng underlay must be used .Ona
slippery surface, anon-slip underlay must be
used ,e.g.u se arubber matont iles.
R Do not us ewoode nblocks or similar objects

Observe the recommended tyre pressure
(Y page 238). If you are drivin
gwith the emergency spare
wheel fitted, the tyre pressure monitor cannot
function reliably.R estart the tyre pressure mon-
itor only once the defective wheel has been
replaced with anew wheel.
All fitted wheelsm ust be equipped with func-
tioning sensors for the tyre pressure monitor. Wheel and tyre combinations
You can ask for information regarding permitted
wheel/tyre combinations at aMercedes-Benz
Service Centre.
! For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you only use tyres, wheels and
accessories which have been approved by
Mercedes-Benz for you rvehicle. These are
speciall yadapted to the various driving safety
systems, such as ABS or ESP ®
.
Only use the tyres, wheels and accessories
tested and recommende dbyMercedes-Benz.
Certain characteristics, such as handling,
vehicl enoise emissions, fuel consumption,
etc. may otherwise be adversely affected.
Other wheel sizes may caus ethe tyres to
come into contact with the vehicl ebody and
axle components, whe nunder load. This may
result in damage to the tyre or the vehicle.
Mercedes-Benz is not responsibl efor any
damage caused by using tyres, wheels or
accessories other than those recommended.
Informatio nontyres, wheels and permissible
combinations can be obtained at aqualified
specialist workshop.
! Retreaded tyres are neither tested nor rec-
ommende dbyMercedes-Benz, since previ-
ous damage cannot alwaysbed etected on
retreaded tyres. As aresult, Mercedes-Benz
cannot guarantee vehicl esafety if retreaded
tyres are fitted. Do not fit use dtyres if you
have no information about their previous
usage.
! Large wheels: the lower the section width
for acertain wheel size, the lower the ride
comfort is on poor road surfaces. Rol lcomfort
and suspension comfort are reduced and the risk of damage to the wheels and tyres as a
result of driving over obstacles increases.
The recommende dtyre pressures for various
operating conditions can be found on the tyre 246
