X
Take ratchet ring spanner ?out of the vehi-
cle tool kit and place it on the hexagon nut of
jack =so that the letters AUFare visible.
X Position jack =at jacking point ;. X
Make sure that the base of the jack is posi-
tioned vertically under the jacking point.
X Turn ratchet ring spanner ?until jack =sits
completely on jacking point ;and the base
of the jack lies evenly on the ground.
X Turn ratchet ring spanner ?until the tyre is
raised a maximum of 3 cm from the ground.
Removing a wheel !
Do not place wheel bolts in sand or dirt. The
threads of the wheel bolts and wheel hubs
could otherwise be damaged when the bolts
are tightened.
X Unscrew the wheel bolts.
X Remove the wheel.
Fitting a new wheel G
WARNING
Oiled or greased wheel bolts or damaged
wheel bolts/hub threads can cause the wheel bolts to come loose. As a result, you could
lose a wheel while driving. There is a risk of
accident.
Never oil or grease wheel bolts. In the event of damage to the threads, contact a qualified
specialist workshop immediately. Have the
damaged wheel bolts or hub threads
replaced/renewed. Do not continue driving. G
WARNING
If you tighten the wheel bolts or wheel nuts
when the vehicle is raised, the jack could tip
over. There is a risk of injury.
Only tighten the wheel bolts or wheel nuts
when the vehicle is on the ground.
Observe the instructions and safety notes on
"Changing a wheel" (Y page 273).
Only use wheel bolts that have been designed
for the wheel and the vehicle. For safety rea-
sons, Mercedes-Benz recommends that you
only use wheel bolts which have been approved for Mercedes-Benz vehicles and the respective
wheel. X
Clean the wheel and wheel hub contact sur-
faces.
X Place the new wheel on the wheel hub and
push it on.
X Tighten the wheel bolts until they are finger-
tight.
Lowering the vehicle G
WARNING
The wheels could work loose if the wheel nuts and bolts are not tightened to the specified
tightening torque. There is a risk of accident. 276
Changing a wheelWheels and tyres

Have the tightening torque immediately
checked at a qualified specialist workshop
after a wheel is changed.
X Place the ratchet ring spanner onto the hex-
agon nut of the jack so that the letters ABare
visible.
X Turn the ratchet ring spanner until the vehicle
is once again standing firmly on the ground.
X Place the jack to one side. X
Tighten the wheel bolts evenly in a crosswise
pattern in the sequence indicated (: toA).
The specified tightening torque is 130 Nm.
X Turn the jack back to its initial position.
X Stow the jack and the rest of the vehicle tools
in the vehicle again.
X Check the air pressure of the newly fitted
wheel and adjust accordingly.
Observe the recommended tyre pressure
(Y page 269).
If you are driving with the emergency spare
wheel fitted, the tyre pressure monitor cannot
function reliably. Only restart the tyre pressure
monitor when the defective wheel has been
replaced with a new wheel. All fitted wheels
must be equipped with functioning sensors.
Vehicles with a tyre pressure monitor: all fit-
ted wheels must be equipped with functioning
sensors. Wheel and tyre combinations
General notes
! For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you only use tyres and wheels
which have been approved by Mercedes-Benz specifically for your vehicle. These are specially adapted to the control
systems, such as ABS or ESP
®
and are
marked as follows:
R MO = Mercedes-Benz Original
R MOE = Mercedes-Benz Original Extended
(tyres featuring run-flat characteristics)
R MO1 = Mercedes-Benz Original (only cer-
tain AMG tyres)
Mercedes-Benz Original Extended tyres may
only be used on wheels that have been spe-
cifically approved by Mercedes-Benz.
Only use tyres, wheels or accessories tested
and approved by Mercedes-Benz. Certain
characteristics, e.g. handling, vehicle noise
emissions or fuel consumption, may other-
wise be adversely affected. In addition, when
driving with a load, tyre dimension variations
could cause the tyres to come into contact
with the bodywork and axle components. This
could result in damage to the tyres or the
vehicle.
Mercedes-Benz accepts no liability for dam-
age resulting from the use of tyres, wheels or accessories other than those tested and
approved.
Further information about wheels, tyres and
approved combinations can be obtained from
any qualified specialist workshop.
! Retreaded tyres are neither tested nor rec-
ommended by Mercedes-Benz, since previ-
ous damage cannot always be detected on
retreaded tyres. As a result, Mercedes-Benz
cannot guarantee vehicle safety if retreaded
tyres are fitted. Do not fit used tyres if you
have no information about their previous
usage.
! Large wheels: the lower the section width
for a certain wheel size, the lower the ride
comfort is on poor road surfaces. Roll comfort and suspension comfort are reduced and therisk of damage to the wheels and tyres as a
result of driving over obstacles increases.
Overview of abbreviations used in the following tyre tables:
R BA: both axles
R FA: front axle
R RA: rear axle
The recommended tyre pressures for various
operating conditions can be found in the tyre
pressure table on the charge socket flap. For
further information on tyre pressure, see Wheel and tyre combinations
