Observe the following when raising the vehicle: R
To rais et he vehicle, only use the vehicle-spe-

inserting whee lc hocks. Do not disengage the
parking brake whil et he vehicl eisr aised.R
The jack must be placed on af irm, flat and
non-slip surface. On al oose surface, al arge,
flat, load-bearing underlay must be used .Ona
slippery surface, an on-slip underlay must be
used ,e .g. rubber mats.R
Do not use wooden blocks or similar objects
as aj ack underlay .O therwise, the jack wil ln ot
be abl etoa chieve its load-bearing capacity
due to the restricted height. R
Make sure that the distance betwee nt he
underside of the tires and the ground does not
exceed 1.2 in (3 cm). R
Never place you rh ands and feet under the
raised vehicle. R
Do not lie under the vehicle. R
Do not start the engine when the vehicl ei s
raised. R
Do not open or close ad oor or the trunk lid

Mercedes-Benz Center.
You shoul dr egularl yc heck the pressure of the
emergency spare wheel ,p ar ticularly prior to
long trips, and correct the pressure as neces-
sary ( Y
page 258). The value on the wheel is
valid.
An emergency spare wheel may also be moun-
ted against the direction of rotation. Observe
the time restriction on us easw el last he speed
limitation specified on the emergency spare
wheel.
Replace the tire sa fte rs ix years at the latest,
regardless of wear. Thi sa ls oa pplies to the
emergency spare wheel.
Whe ny ou are driving with the collapsibl es pare
wheel mounted, the tire pressure loss warning
system or the tire pressure monitor canno tf unc-
tion reliably. Only restart the tire pressure loss
warning system or tire pressure monitor when
the defectiv ew he el ha sb ee nr eplaced with a
new wheel.
Vehicles with tire pressure monitor: after
mounting an emergency spare wheel ,t he sys-
tem may stil ld is play the tire pressure of the
removed wheel for af ew minutes. The value dis-
played for the mounted emergency spare wheel
is not the same as the current tire pressure of
the emergency spare wheel.
