iDue to differences in vehicle equipment,
not all vehicles are equipped with a tire-
change tool kit. For information on which
tools are required to perform a wheel
change on your vehicle, consult an author- ized Mercedes-Benz Center.
Necessary tire-changing tools can include,
for example:
RJack
RWheel chock
RLug wrench
Securing the vehicle to prevent it from
rolling away
If your vehicle is equipped with a wheel chock,
it can be found in the tire-change tool kit
(
Ypage 290).
The folding wheel chock is an additional
securing measure to prevent the vehicle from rolling away, for example when changing a
wheel.
XFold both plates upwards :.
XFold out lower plate;.
XGuide the lugs on the lower plate fully into
the openings in base plate =.
Securing the vehicle on level ground
