Mounting 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.
Always pay attention to the instructions and
safety notes in the "Changing a wheel" section
(Y page 275).
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.

When you are driving with the emergency spare
wheel mounted, the tire pressure monitor can-
not function reliably. Only restart the tire pres-
sure monitor when the defective wheel has been
replaced with a new wheel. All wheels mounted
must be equipped with functioning sensors.
Vehicles with tire pressure monitor (USA
only): all mounted wheels must be equipped
with functioning sensors. Wheel and tire combinations
General notes
You can ask for information regarding permitted wheel/tire combinations at an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center.
You should regularly check the pressure of the
emergency spare wheel, particularly prior to
long trips, and correct the pressure as neces-
sary (Y page 260). The value on the wheel is
valid.
! For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you only use tires and wheels
which have been approved by Mercedes-Benz specifically for your vehicle.
These tires have been specially adapted for
use with the control systems, such as ABS or
ESP ®
, and are marked as follows:
R MO = Mercedes-Benz Original
R MOE = Mercedes-Benz Original Extended
(tires featuring run-flat characteristics)
R MO1 = Mercedes-Benz Original (only cer-
tain AMG tires)
Mercedes-Benz Original Extended tires may
only be used on wheels that have been spe-
cifically approved by Mercedes-Benz.
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- Wheel and tire combinations

vehicle with standard equipment. Consult an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center for the
data for all vehicle variants and trim levels. Vehicle electronics
Installing two-way radios and mobile
phones (RF transmitters)
G
WARNING
The electromagnetic radiation from modified
or incorrectly retrofitted RF-transmitters can
interfere with the vehicle electronics. This can compromise the operational safety of the
vehicle. There is a risk of an accident.
You should have all work to electrical and
electronic equipment carried out at a qualified
specialist workshop. G
WARNING
The electromagnetic radiation from incor-
rectly operated RF transmitters can interfere
with the vehicle electronics, for example:
R if the RF transmitter is not connected with
an exterior antenna
R the exterior antenna has been installed
incorrectly or is not a low-reflection type
This can compromise the operational safety
of the vehicle. There is a risk of an accident.
Have the low-reflection exterior antenna
mounted at a qualified specialist workshop.
When operating RF transmitters in the vehi-
cle, always connect them with the low-reflec-
tion exterior antenna.
! The operating permit may be invalidated if
the instructions for installation and use of RF
transmitters are not observed. In particular, the following conditions must be
complied with:
R only approved wavebands may be used.
R observe the maximum permissible output
in these wavebands.
R only approved antenna positions may be
used.
Excessive levels of electromagnetic radiation
may cause damage to your health and the health
of others. Using an exterior antenna takes into
account current scientific discussions relating
to the possible health hazards that may result
from electromagnetic fields. Approved antenna positions

0087 Rear fender
i On the rear fenders, it is recommended to
position the antenna on the side of the vehicle
closest to the center of the road.
Use the Technical Specification ISO/TS 21609
when retrofitting RF transmitters (Road Vehicles - EMC guidelines for installation of aftermarket
radio frequency transmitting equipment).
Observe the legal requirements for accessory
parts.
If your vehicle has installations for two-way radio
equipment, use the power supply or antenna
connections intended for use with the basic wir-
ing. Be sure to observe the manufacturer's Sup- plement when installing.
Deviations with respect to frequency bands,
maximum transmission outputs or antenna
positions must be approved by Mercedes-Benz. Vehicle electronics
