WARNING Risk of accident from losing a
wheel
Oiled, greased or damaged wheel bolt/wheel
nut thre ads or wheel hub/wheel mounting
bolt thre ads can cause the wheel bolts/wheel
nuts tocome loose.
As a result, you could lose a wheel while driv‐
ing. #
Never oil or grease theth re ads. #
Intheeve nt of damage totheth re ads,
con tact a qualified specialist workshop
immediatel y. #
Have the damaged wheel bolts or dam‐
aged hub thre ads replaced. #
Do not continue driving. &
WARNING Risk of inju ryfrom tightening
wheel bolts and nuts
If yo u tighten the wheel bolts or wheel nuts
when theve hicle is raised, the jack could tip. #
Only tighten wheel bolts or wheel nuts
when theve hicle is on the ground. #
Obser vethe no tes on thech oice of tires
(/ page 324). #
For saf etyre asons, only use wheel bolts or
wheel nuts which ha vebeen appr ovedby
Mercedes-Benz and forth e wheel in question.
When you ins tallth esteel spare wheel, it is
essential you use short wheel bolts for a steel
wheel. Using other wheel bolts when ins talling
th esteel spare wheel may lead todamage tothe

Ve hicles with Super Single tires: ifyo u mount
th e spare wheel tothere ar axle, do not exceed
th e maximum speed of 34 mph (55 km/h) and
th e maximum dis tance of 62 miles (100 km). Oth‐
erwise, the transmission could be damaged due

The emer gency spa rewheel may only
be used temp orarily and must be
