must be positioned vertically, directly under
the jacking point of the vehicle.
Observe the following when raising the vehicle:
R only use the vehicle-specific jack that has
been tested and approved by Mercedes-Benz
to raise the vehicle. 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.
Vehicles with light-alloy wheels and hub
caps: the wheel bolts are covered by a hub cap.
Before you can unscrew the wheel bolts, you
must remove the hub cap. Two different variants
can be fitted. X
To remove: take socket;and wheel wrench
= from the vehicle tool kit (Y page 288).
X Position socket ;on hub cap :.
X Position wheel wrench =on socket ;.
X Using wheel wrench =, turn hub cap:anti-
clockwise and remove it.
X To fit: before fitting, check hub cap :and
the wheel area for dirt and clean if necessary.
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. 314
Changing a wheelWheels and tyres

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 312).
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.
! Mercedes AMG vehicles:
when removing
and fitting a wheel, the wheel rim may strike
the ceramic brake disc and damage it. There-
fore, take precautions and have a second per- son assist you. Alternatively, you can use a
second centring pin. 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.
X Vehicles with a collapsible emergency
spare wheel:
inflate the collapsible emer-
gency spare wheel (Y page 319).
Only then lower the vehicle.
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 130 Nm.
X Turn the jack back to its initial position. 316
