2017 MERCEDES-BENZ B-Class lock

Tire-mounting tools should not be used near
the valve. This could damage the electronic
components.
Only have tires changed at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop.
Observe the instructions and safety notes in the "Changing a wheel" section (Y page 275).
The wear patterns on the front and rear tires
differ, depending on the operating conditions.
Rotate the wheels before a clear wear pattern
has formed on the tires. Front tires typically
wear more on the shoulders and the rear tires in
the center.
On vehicles that have the same size front and
rear wheels, you can rotate the wheels accord-
ing to the intervals in the tire manufacturer's
warranty book in your vehicle documents. If no
warranty book is available, the tires should be
rotated every 3,000 to 6,000 miles (5,000 to
10,000 km). Depending on tire wear, this may
be required earlier. Do not change the direction
of wheel rotation.
Clean the contact surfaces of the wheel and the brake disc thoroughly every time a wheel is rota-
ted. Check the tire pressure and reactivate the
tire pressure monitor if necessary. Direction of rotation
Tires with a specified direction of rotation have
additional benefits, e.g. if there is a risk of hydro-
planing. These advantages can only be gained if the tires are installed corresponding to the
direction of rotation.
An arrow on the sidewall of the tire indicates its correct direction of rotation. Storing wheels
Store wheels that are not being used in a cool,
dry and preferably dark place. Protect the tires
against oil and grease. Mounting a wheel
Preparing the vehicle X
Stop the vehicle on solid, non-slippery and
level ground.
X Apply the electric parking brake manually. X
Bring the front wheels into the straight-ahead
position.
X Shift the transmission to position P.
X Switch off the drive system.
X Vehicles without KEYLESS-GO: remove the
SmartKey from the ignition lock.
X Vehicles with KEYLESS-GO: open the driv-
er's door.
The vehicle electronics now have status 0.
This is the same as the SmartKey having been removed.
X If included in the vehicle equipment, remove
the tire-change tool kit from the vehicle.
X Safeguard the vehicle against rolling away
(Y page 128).
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
(Y page 241).
The folding wheel chock is an additional safety
measure to prevent the vehicle from rolling
away, for example when changing a wheel.
X Fold both plates upwards 0043.
X Fold out lower plate 0044.
X Guide the lugs on the lower plate fully into the
openings in base plate 0087.276

Place chocks or other suitable items under
the front and rear of the wheel that is diago-
nally opposite the wheel you wish to change.
Raising the vehicle G
WARNING
If you do not position the jack correctly at the appropriate jacking point of the vehicle, the
jack could tip over with the vehicle raised.
There is a risk of injury.
Only position the jack at the appropriate jack-
ing point of the vehicle. The base of the jack
must be positioned vertically, directly under
the jacking point of the vehicle.
! Position a suitable jack correctly on the
intended jacking points. If you fail to position the jack correctly, the vehicle may be dam-
aged.
The jacking points are recesses in the lower
door sill. They can only be seen from under-
neath. There is one located behind each of the
front wheel arches and in front of the rear
wheel arches.
Position the jack in the jacking points so that when viewed from the side, the jack is in the
vertical position.
! Position a suitable jack only on the jacking
points intended for this purpose.
Never position the jack on the high-voltage
battery. Do not jack up the vehicle on the
high-voltage battery. There is otherwise a risk of damaging the high-voltage battery.
Also observe the notes in the "Changing a
wheel" section. Observe the following when raising the vehi-
cle:
R To raise the vehicle, only use the vehicle-spe-
cific jack that has been tested and approved
by Mercedes-Benz. If used incorrectly, the
jack could tip over with the vehicle raised.
R The jack is designed only to raise and hold the
vehicle for a short time while a wheel is being
changed. It must not be used for performing
maintenance work under the vehicle.
R Avoid changing the wheel on uphill and down-
hill slopes.
R Before raising the vehicle, secure it from roll-
ing away by applying the parking brake and
inserting wheel chocks. Do not disengage 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 tires and the ground does not
exceed 1.2 in (3 cm).
R Never place your hands and feet under the
raised vehicle.
R Do not lie under the vehicle.
R Do not start the drive system when the vehicle
is raised.
R Never open or close a door or the tailgate
when the vehicle is raised.
R Make sure that no persons are present in the
vehicle when the vehicle is raised. Changing a wheel

Windshield washer system
Important safety notes G
WARNING
Windshield washer concentrate could ignite if it comes into contact with hot engine compo-
nents or the exhaust system. There is a risk of
fire and injury.
Make sure that no windshield washer con-
centrate is spilled next to the filler neck.
! Only MB SummerFit and MB WinterFit
washer fluid should be mixed together. The
spray nozzles may otherwise become
blocked.
Do not use distilled or de-ionized water. Other-
wise, the level sensor may give a false reading.
When handling washer fluid, observe the impor- tant safety notes on service products
(Y page 283).
At temperatures above freezing:
X Fill the washer fluid reservoir with a mixture of
water and windshield washer fluid, e.g. MB
SummerFit.
Add 1 part MB SummerFit to 100 parts water.
At temperatures below freezing:
X Fill the washer fluid reservoir with a mixture of
water and washer fluid, e.g. MB WinterFit.
For the correct mixing ratio refer to the infor- mation on the antifreeze reservoir.
i Add windshield washer fluid, e.g. MB Sum-
merFit or MB WinterFit, to the washer fluid all
year round. Climate control system refrigerant
Important safety notes The climate control system of your vehicle is fil-
led with refrigerant R‑ 134a.
The instruction label regarding the refrigerant
type used can be found on the left, on the under-
side of the hood.
! Only the refrigerant R‑134a and the PAG oil
approved by Mercedes-Benz may be used.
The approved PAG oil may not be mixed with
any other PAG oil that is not approved for
R-134a refrigerant. Otherwise, the climate
control system may be damaged.
Service work, such as refilling with refrigerant or replacing component parts, may only be carriedout by a qualified specialist workshop. All appli-
cable regulations, as well as SAE standard J639, must be adhered to.
Always have work on the climate control system
carried out at a qualified specialist workshop.
