Index21
RBefore 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.
RThe 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.
RDo 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.
RMake sure that the distance between the
underside of the tires and the ground does not
exceed 1.2 in (3 cm).
RDo not place your hands or feet under the
raised vehicle.
RDo not lie under the vehicle.
RDo not start the engine when the vehicle is
raised.
RDo not open or close a door or the trunk lid
when the vehicle is raised.
RMake sure that no persons are present in the
vehicle when the vehicle is raised.
Vehicles with hub caps: the hub cap covers
the wheel bolts. Before you can unscrew the
wheel bolts, you must remove the hub cap.
XTo remove: take socket;and lug wrench
= from the vehicle tool kit (Ypage 248).
XPosition socket ;on hub cap :.
XPosition lug wrench =on socket ;.
XUsing lug wrench =, turn hub cap:coun-
ter-clockwise and remove it.
XTo install: before installing, check hub cap :
and the wheel area for soiling and clean if
necessary.
XPut hub cap :in position and turn until it is in
the right position.
XPosition socket ;on hub cap :.
XAttach lug wrench =to socket ;and
tighten hub cap :.
The tightening torque must be
18 lb-ft (25 Nm).
iNote that the hub cap should be tightened
to the specified torque of 18 lb-ft (25 Nm).
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you have
the hub cap installed at a qualified specialist
workshop.
XUsing lug wrench =, loosen the bolts on the
wheel you wish to change by about one full
turn. Do not unscrew the bolts completely.
The jacking point is centered between the front
and rear wheel arches (arrow).

XClean the wheel and wheel hub contact sur-
faces.
XSlide the wheel to be mounted onto the align-
ment bolt and push it on.
XTighten the wheel bolts until they are finger-
tight.
XUnscrew the alignment bolt.
XTighten the last wheel bolt until it is finger-
tight.
Lowering the vehicle
GWARNING
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.
XTurn the crank of the jack counter-clockwise
until the vehicle is once again standing firmly
on the ground.
XPlace the jack to one side.
XTighten the wheel bolts evenly in a crosswisepattern in the sequence indicated (: toA).
The specified tightening torque is 133 lb-ft
(180 Nm).
XTurn the jack back to its initial position.
XStow the jack and the rest of the vehicle tools
in the trunk again.
XCheck the tire pressure of the newly mounted
wheel and adjust it if necessary.
Observe the recommended tire pressure
(
Ypage 264).
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.
