jacking MERCEDES-BENZ C-Class 2000 W202 Owner's Manual

Vehicle Jack


1. Jack arm
2. Jack base

See illustration for proper storage of jack. Before storing the jack on the felt in the spare wheel well, the jack arm
must be lowered almost to the base of the jack.

Warning !
The jack is designed exclusively for jacking up the vehicle at the jack tubes built into either side of the
vehicle. To help avoid personal injury, use the jack only to lift the vehicle during a wheel change.
Never get beneath the vehicle while it is supported by the jack. Keep hands and feet away from the area
under the lifted vehicle. Always firmly set parking brake and block wheels before raising vehicle with jack.
Do not disengage parking brake while the vehicle is raised. Be certain that the jack is always vertical when in
use, especially on hills. Always try to use the jack on level surface. Be sure that the jack arm is fully inserted
in the jack tube. Always lower the vehicle onto sufficient capacity jackstands before working under the
vehicle.

Spare Wheel for Model C 43 AMG


The spare wheel rim size is 71/2 J x 17 H2
In the case of a flat tire or breakdown, you may temporarily use a 71/2 J x 17 H 2 instead of the
81/2 J x 17 H 2 wheel rim on the rear axle, when observing the following restrictions:
• Do not exceed vehicle speed of 50 mph (80 km/h).
• Drive to the nearest repair facility to have the flat tire repaired or replaced as appropriate.
For additional information, refer to "Technical Data".


Warning !

The dimensions of the spare wheel are different from those of road wheels. As a result, the
vehicle handling characteristics change when driving with a mounted spare wheel.
The spare wheel should only be used temporarily, and replaced with a regular road
wheel as quickly as possible.
