MERCEDES-BENZ GLE COUPE 2022 Owners Manual

Interchanging the front and rear wheels if the
wheels or tyr
es have diMerent dimensions can
render the general operating permit invalid.
Observe the instructions and safety notes on
"Changing a wheel" ( page 414)
The wear patterns on the front and rear wheels
diMer:
= front wheels wear more on the tyre shoulder
= rear wheels wear more in the centre of the
tyre
Do not drive with tyres that have too little tread
depth. This signiNcantly reduces traction on wet
roads (aquaplaning).
On vehicles with the same front and rear wheel
size, you can interchange the wheels every
5,000 to 10,000 km, depending on the wear.
Ensure the direction of rotation is maintained for
the wheels. Notes on storing wheels
When storing wheels, observe the following notes:
= Aser r

emoving wheels, store them in a cool,
dry and preferably dark place.
= Protect the tyres from contact with oil, grease
or fuel. Overview of the tyre-change tool kit
Apart from some
countr
y-speciNc variants, vehi-
cles are not equipped with a tyre-change tool kit.
For more information on which tools are required
and approved to perform a wheel change on your
vehicle, consult a qualiNed specialist workshop.
Required tyre-changing tools may include,
forexample:
= Jack
= Chock
= Wheel wrench
% The jack weighs approximately 3.4 kg.
The maximum load capacity of t
he jack can
be found on the sticker aPxed to the jack. The jack is maintenance-free. If there is a
malfunction, please cont

act a qualiNed spe-
cialist workshop.
Tyre-change tool kit 1 is locat
ed under the load
compartment Ooor.
% Depending on the model, the tyre change tool
kit ma

y be located in other positions under
the load compartment Ooor. The tyre-change tool kit includes the following:
= Jac

k
= Wheel wrench
= Wheel studs 418

=
Ext ension attachment for wheel studs, if nec-
essary (depending on vehicle version)
= Folding chock
= Ratchet ring spanner Plug-in hybrid
The tyre-change tool kit is located in breakdown
bag 1.
Depending on t

he vehicle version, the breakdown
bag is located in the load compartment or under
the load compartment Ooor. Preparing the vehicle for a wheel change
Requirements:
= The v

ehicle is not on a slope.
= The vehicle is on solid, non-slippery and level
ground.
= The required tyre-change tool kit is available.
% If your vehicle is not equipped with the tyre-
c

hange tool kit, consult a qualiNed specialist
workshop to Nnd out about suitable tools.

fr
ont and rear of the wheel that is diagonally
opposite the wheel you wish to change.

Requirements:
= Ther

e are no persons in the vehicle.
= The vehicle has been prepared for a wheel
change (  page 419).
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 jac
k 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.
= Do not start the vehicle and do not release the
electric parking brake.
= Do not open or close any doors or the tailgate. 
Using the wheel wrench, loosen the wheel
bolts on t

he wheel you wish to change by
about one full turn. Do not unscrew the
screws completely. 420

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 the jacking point of the vehicle. *
NOTE Damag
e to the vehicle due to the
jack If you do not position the jack at the jack sup-
por
t points provided for this purpose, you
could damage your vehicle. 
Only position the jack at the jack sup-
por

t points provided for this purpose. 
Take the ratchet ring spanner out of the tyre-
c
hange tool kit and place it on the hexagon
nut of the jack so that the letters "AUF" are
visible.

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 414).
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.

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. %
The emergency spare wheel is fastened in the
load com

partment under the load compart-
ment Ooor.
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 r

eliably. For a few minutes aser an emer-
gency spare wheel is Ntted, 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.
