WARNING Risk of accident when towing
a ve hicle which is too heavy
If th eve hicle being tow- star ted or towed
aw ay is heavier than the permissible gross
mass of your vehicle, thefo llowing situations
can occur:
R The towing eye may become de tach ed.
R The vehicle/trailer combination may
swer veoreve nove rturn. #
If ano ther vehicle is tow- star ted or

th e permissible gross mass of your own
ve hicle. If a
vehicle needs tobe towe d or tow star ted, its
we ight should not be greaterth at the permissible
gross mass of theto wing vehicle. #
Information on theve hicle's permissible gross
mass can be found on theve hicle identifica‐
tion plate . #
Vehicles with automatic transmission: do
not open the driver's or front-passen ger door,

WARNING Risk of accident and injury
due toove rloaded lines
If yo u manipulate or bridge a faulty fuse or if
yo ure place it with a fuse with a higher
amperage, the electric line could be overloa‐
ded.
This could result in a fire. #
Alwaysre place faulty fuses with speci‐
fi ed new fuses containing the cor rect

Only use fuses whi chhave been
appr ovedby Mercedes-Benz and which
ha ve the cor rect fuse rating. The electrical fuses in
your vehicle switch off
defective circuits. If a fuse blo ws, all the compo‐
nents on the circuit and their functions will cease
to operate.
Blown fuses must be replaced with fuses of an
equivalent specification, which you can de ter‐
mine bythe color and fuse rating. The fuse allo‐
cation chart and fur ther information on the elec‐
tric fuses and relays can be found in the "Fuse
allocation chart" supplement.

When the fuse box is open, make sure
th at no moisture can enter the fuse box. #
When closing the fuse box, make sure
th at the seal of the lid is positioned cor‐
re ctly on the fuse box. If
th e new fuse which has been inser ted also
blo ws, ha vethe cause traced and rectified at a

If yo u park a vehicle with air suspension, the
air suspension may remain activated for up to
one hour, even when the ignition is switched
off. If youth en raise theve hicle with the jac k,
th e air suspension will attem pttoadjust the

WARNING Risk of inju ryfrom incor rect
positioning of the jack
If yo u do not position the jack cor rectly at the
appropriate jacking point of theve hicle, the
jack could tip wi th theve hicle raised. #
Only position the jack at the appropriate
jacking point of theve hicle. The base of
th e jack must be positioned vertically
under the jacking point of theve hicle. &

TEVehicle damage from the jack If
yo u do not position the jack cor rectly at the

Only position
the jack on the jack support points
intended forth is purpose. You could otherwise
damage theve hicle.
Impor tant no tes on using the jack:
R Only use theve hicle-specific jack that has
been tested and appr ovedby Mercedes-Benz
to raise theve hicle. If the jack is used incor‐
re ctly, it could tip over while theve hicle is
ra ised.
R The jack is designed only toraise theve hicle
fo r a short time while a wheel is being
ch anged and is not suitable for car rying out
maintenance workunder theve hicle.
R Avoid changing a wheel on uphill and downhill
slopes.
R The jack must be placed on a firm ,fl at and
non-slip sur face. If necessar y,use a lar ge,
fl at, load bearing and non-slip unde rlay.
R The base of the jack is positioned vertically
under the jack support point.
Saf ety instructions while theve hicle is raised:
R Do not put your hands or feet under theve hi‐
cle.
R Do not lie underneath theve hicle.
R Do not start the engine and do not release
th e parking brake.
R Do not open or close any doors.
