The wheel trim covers the wheel bolts on vehicles
with aluminium wheels. Before unscrewing the
wheel bolts, remove the wheel trim. 
To remove: using bo
th hands, carefully reach
into two wheel trim openings and remove the
wheel trim. Raising the vehicle when changing a wheel
Requirements:
= Ther

e are no persons in the vehicle.
= The vehicle has been prepared for a wheel
change (  page 438).
Important notes on using the jack:
= Use only a vehicle-speciNc jack that has been
approved by Mercedes-Benz to raise the vehi-
cle.
= The jack is only designed for raising and hold-
ing the vehicle for a short time while a wheel
is being changed and not for maintenance
work under the vehicle.
= The jack must be placed on a Nrm, Oat and
non-slip surface. If necessary, use a large, Oat,
load-bearing, non-slip underlay.
= The foot of the jack must be positioned verti-
cally under the jack support point. Rules of conduct when the vehicle is raised:
= N

ever place your hands or feet under the vehi-
cle.
= Never lie under the vehicle. Wheels and tyres

WARNING Risk of injur
y from incorrect
positioning of the jack
If you do not position the jack correctly at the
appr
opriate jacking point of the vehicle, the
jack could tip with the vehicle raised. 
Only position the jack at the appropriate
jac

king point of the vehicle. The base of the jack must be positioned vertically
under t

he jacking point of the vehicle. *
NOTE Damag
e to the vehicle due to using
an unsuitable jack You can damage the vehicle and, in particular,
t

he high-voltage battery if you use a jack that
is not speciNcally designed for the jack sup-
port points of the vehicle. 
Only use jacks that are speciNcall
y
designed for the jack support points, or
use an appropriate adapter. *
NOTE Risk of damag
e to the vehicle due
to incorrect positioning of the jack If you do not position the jack at the designa-
t
ed jack support points, you could damage
your vehicle and, in particular, the high-voltage
battery. 
Only position the jack at the designated
jac

k support points. 440

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 434).
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 434). 
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.

= The ne

w wheel has been Ntted ( page 442).
* NOTE Risk of v
ehicle jack becoming trap-
ped by the AIRMATIC system If the AIRMATIC system has released air when
r

aising the vehicle, the jack can become trap-
ped when the vehicle is lowered. 
Start the drive system. This adapts the
v
ehicle level. 
Remove the jack from under the vehicle. 
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. 
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.

WARNING Risk of accident caused b y
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
spar
e wheel brieOy. 
Do not deactivate ESP n
. 
Have the emergency spare wheel or
spar

e wheel of a diMerent size replaced
at the nearest qualiNed specialist work- 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.
= SpeciNed tightening torque: 130 Nm
= 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
Ntt
ed, the system may
still display the tyre pressure of the removed
wheel. Only restart the system again when the
emergency spare wheel has been replaced
with a new wheel.

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

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 two-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
