The tightening torque must be96 lb-ft
(130 Nm).
XDismantle the pump lever.
XPush the jack piston back in and close the
drain plug.
XUse the nuts to secure the faulty wheel to the
spare wheel bracket (Ypage 245).
XStow the jack and the vehicle tools in the
vehicle again.
XCheck the tire pressure of the newly installed
wheel and adjust it if necessary.
Observe the recommended tire pressure
(
Ypage 260).
If you are driving with the emergency spare
wheel installed, 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 mounted wheels must be equipped with func-
tioning sensors for the tire pressure monitor.
Wheel and tire combinations
You can ask for information regarding permittedwheel/tire combinations at an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center.
!For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you only use tires, wheels and
accessories which have been specifically
approved by Mercedes-Benz for your vehicle.
These are specially adapted to the various
driving safety systems, such as ABS or ESP
®.
Only use tires, wheels and accessories tested
and recommended by Mercedes-Benz. Cer-
tain characteristics, such as handling, vehicle
noise emissions, fuel consumption, etc. may
otherwise be adversely affected. In addition,
other wheel sizes may cause the tires to rub
against the vehicle body and axle compo-
nents, when under load. This may result in
damage to the tire or to the vehicle.
Mercedes-Benz is not responsible for any
damage caused by using tires, wheels or
accessories different from those recommen-
ded.
Information on tires, wheels and permissible
combinations can be obtained at a qualified
specialist workshop.
!Retreaded tires are neither tested nor rec-
ommended by Mercedes-Benz, since previ- ous damage cannot always be detected on
retreaded tires. As a result, Mercedes-Benz
cannot guarantee vehicle safety if retreaded
tires are mounted. Do not mount used tires if
you have no information about their previous
usage.
The recommended pressures for various oper-
ating conditions can be found:
Ron the Tire and Loading Information placard
on the B-pillar on the driver's side
Rin the tire pressure table in the fuel filler flap
Observe the notes on recommended tire pres-
sures under various operating conditions
(
Ypage 260).
Check tire pressures regularly, and only when
the tires are cold. Comply with the maintenance
recommendations of the tire manufacturer in
the vehicle document wallet.
Notes on equipping the vehicle:
Ralways install tires of the same size on one
axle (left/right)
Ralways install the same type of tires on your
vehicle (summer tires, winter tires, all-
weather tires, all-terrain tires)
Spare wheel
If the tire and wheel dimensions of the spare
wheel differ from the wheel to be replaced, the
spare wheel is an emergency spare wheel.
GWARNING
Wheel and tire dimensions as well as the type of tire can vary between the spare wheel and
the wheel to be replaced. When the spare
wheel is mounted, driving characteristics may be severely affected. There is a risk of an acci-
dent.
In order to reduce risks:
Ryou should therefore adapt your driving
style and drive carefully.
Rnever mount more than one spare wheel
that differs from the wheel to be replaced.
Ronly use a spare wheel that differs from the
wheel to be replaced for a short time.

Rdo not deactivate ESP®.
Rhave a spare wheel that differs from the
wheel that has been changed replaced at
the nearest qualified specialist workshop.
You must observe the correct wheel and
tire dimensions as well as the wheel type.
!Only use the emergency spare wheel or
spare wheel of a different size briefly, and only
to drive to the nearest qualified specialist
workshop. You could otherwise damage the
drive train.
When using an emergency spare wheel or spare
wheel of a different size, you must not exceed
the maximum permissible speed of 50 mph
(80 km/h).
Snow chains must not be installed on emer-
gency spare wheels or to a spare wheel of a dif-
ferent size.
You may install the spare wheel against the
direction of rotation.
If a spare wheel is installed, the tire pressure
monitor may continue to show the tire pressure
of the wheel that has been removed for a few
minutes. The value displayed for the position
where the emergency spare wheel is installed is
not the same as the current tire pressure of the
spare wheel.
You should regularly check the pressure of all
your tires, including the spare wheel, particu-
larly prior to long trips, and correct the pressure
as necessary (
Ypage 260).
Remove the spare wheel from the spare wheel
bracket (
Ypage 245).
You can ask for information regarding permitted spare wheels at an authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center.

Accelerate carefully and make sure that the
wheels do not spin when driving on steep ter-
rain.
iIf the load on the front axle is reduced when
pulling away on a steep uphill slope, the front
wheels have a tendency to spin. 4ETS detects
this and brakes the wheels accordingly. The
rear wheel torque is increased, making it eas-
ier to drive off.

dient climbing ability, see (

Use a drawbar noseweight as close as pos-
sible to the maximum permissible nose-
weight. Do not use a noseweight of less than
50 kg, otherwise the trailer may come loose.
Note that the payload and the rear axle load
are reduced by the actual payload.
The drawbar load reduces the permissible over-
all load and rear axle load.
The drawbar load acts from above onto the ball
head on the trailer tow hitch.
