he tyre is raised a maxi-
mum of 3 cm from the ground. 
Loosen and remove the wheel (  pag
e 348). Removing a wheel
Requirements:
= The v

ehicle is raised ( page 346).
When changing a wheel, avoid applying any force
to the brake discs, as this could impair the level of
comfort when braking.
* NOTE Damag
e to threading from dirt on
wheel bolts 
Do not place wheel bolts in sand or on a
dir

ty surface. 
Unscrew the uppermost wheel bolt com-
ple

tely.

WARNING Risk of accident fr om losing a
wheel
Oiled or greased wheel bolts can cause the
wheel bolts t
o come loose, as too can dam-
aged wheel bolts or wheel hub threads. 
Never oil or grease the threads. 
In the event of damage to the threads,
cont

act a qualiNed specialist workshop
immediately. 
Have the damaged wheel bolts or dam-
ag

ed hub threads replaced. 
Do not continue driving. 
Observe the information on the choice of tyres
( pag

e 341).
For tyres with a speciNed dir
ection of rotation, an
arrow on the side wall of the tyre indicates the
correct direction of rotation. Observe the direc-
tion of rotation when Ntting. *
NOTE Damag
e to the wheels' plastic ele-
ments when changing a wheel Plastic elements on wheels may be damaged
when r
emoving and repositioning the wheel. 
Do not raise the wheels by the plastic
elements when r

emoving and reposition-
ing. 
Slide the wheel to be mounted onto the cen-
tr
ing pin and push it on. &
WARNING Risk of injur
y from tightening
wheel bolts and nuts
If you tighten the wheel bolts or wheel nuts
when t
he vehicle is raised, the jack could tip. 
Only tighten wheel bolts or wheel nuts
when t

he vehicle is on the ground. 
Be sure to observe the instructions and safety
no

tes on "Changing a wheel" (  page 341). 
For safety reasons, only use wheel bolts which
ha

ve been approved by Mercedes-Benz and
for the wheel in question. 
Tighten the wheel bolts evenly in a diagonal
patt
ern in the order indicated until they are
Nnger-tight. 
Unscrew and remove the centring pin. 
Tighten the last wheel bolt until it is Nng
er-
tight. 
Lower the vehicle ( pag
e 349). Lowering the vehicle
aser a wheel c
hange Requirements:
= The ne

w wheel has been Ntted ( page 348). 
To lower the vehicle: place t
he ratchet onto
the hexagon nut of the jack so that the letters
"AB" are visible and turn anti-clockwise. Wheels and tyres

Tighten the wheel bolts evenly in a diagonal
patt ern in the order indicated 1 to 5 with
an initial maximum force of 80 Nm. 
Tighten the wheel bolts evenly in a diagonal
patt
ern in the order indicated 1 to 5 with
the speciNed tightening torque of 150 Nm. &
WARNING Risk of accident due t
o incor-
rect tightening torque
The wheels could come loose if the wheel
bolts or wheel nuts ar
e not tightened to the
prescribed torque. 
Ensure that the wheel bolts or wheel
nuts ar
e tightened to the prescribed
tightening torque. 
If you are not sure, do not move the vehi-
cle. Cont

act a qualiNed specialist work-
shop and have the tightening torque
checked immediately. 
Check the tyre pressure of the newly Ntt
ed
wheel and adjust it if necessary.
% The following does not apply if the new wheel
is an emer
gency spare wheel. 
Vehicles with a tyre pressure monitoring sys-
t
em: restart the tyre pressure monitoring sys-
tem ( page 341). Emergency spare wheel

incorrect wheel and tyre dimensions
The wheel or tyre size and the tyre type of the
emer
gency spare wheel or spare wheel and
the wheel to be replaced may diMer. The emer-
gency spare wheel or spare wheel can signiN-
cantly impair driving characteristics of the
vehicle.
To prevent hazardous situations: 
Drive carefully. 
Never Nt mor
e than one emergency
spare wheel or spare wheel that diMers
in size. 
Only use an emergency spare wheel or

shop. The new wheel must have the cor-
r
ect dimensions. Observe the following notes on
Ntting an emer
-
gency spare wheel:
= The maximum permissible speed with an
emergency spare wheel Ntted is 80 km/h.
= Do not Nt the emergency spare wheel with
snow chains.
= Replace the emergency spare wheel aser six
years at the latest, regardless of wear.
= Use the wheel bolts that are included with the
emergency spare wheel.
= Check the tyre pressure of the emergency
spare wheel Ntted. Correct the pressure as
necessary.
% The speciNed tyr
e pressure is stated on the
label of the emergency spare wheel.
% Vehicles with a tyre pressure monitoring sys-
t
em: if an emergency spare wheel is Ntted, the
tyre pressure monitoring system cannot func-
tion reliably. For a few minutes aser an emer-
gency spare wheel is Ntted, the system may still display the tyre pressure of the removed
wheel. Onl
y restart the system again when the
emergency spare wheel has been replaced
with a new wheel.

NOTE Pr
emature wear through improper
maintenance Improper maintenance may cause vehicle

o-way radios &
WARNING Risk of accident due t
o
improper work on two-way radios
If two-way radios are manipulated or r
etroNt-
ted incorrectly, the electromagnetic radiation
from the two-way radios can interfere with the
vehicle electronics and jeopardise the operat-
ing safety of the vehicle. 
You should have all work on electrical
and electr

onic components carried out
at a qualiNed specialist workshop. &
WARNING Risk of accident due t
o
improper operation of two-way radios
If you use two-way radios in the vehicle
im
properly, their electromagnetic radiation
can disrupt the vehicle's electronics. This is
the case in the following situations, in particu-
lar: =
The tw
o-way radio is not connected to an
exterior aerial.
= The exterior aerial is Ntted incorrectly or is
not a low-reOection aerial.
This could jeopardise the operating safety of
the vehicle. 
Have the lo
w-reOection exterior aerial Nt-
ted at a qualiNed specialist workshop. 
When operating two-way radios in the
v

ehicle, always connect them to the low-
reOection exterior aerial. *
NOTE In
validation of the operating permit
due to failure to comply with the instruc-
tions for installation and use The operating permit may be invalidated if the
ins
tructions for installation and use of two-way
radios are not observed. 
Only use approved frequency bands. 
Observe the maximum permissible out-
put po
wer in these frequency bands. 
Only use approved aerial positions. 352

operating Ouids. 
Always store operating Ouids sealed in

include t
he following:
= lubricants
= coolant
= Brake Ouid
= windscreen washer Ouid
= climate control system refrigerant
Only use products approved by Mercedes-Benz.

vapour pockets forming in the brake sys-
tem
The brake Ouid cons
tantly absorbs moisture
from the air. This lowers the boiling point of
the brake Ouid. If the boiling point is too low,
vapour pockets may form in the brake system
when the brakes are applied hard.
This impairs the braking eMect. 
Have the brake Ouid r
enewed at the
speciNed intervals. Have the brake
Ouid r
egularly replaced at a quali-
Ned specialist workshop.
Only use a brake Ouid appr
oved by Mercedes-
Benz according to MB-Freigabe or MB-Approval
