must be positioned vertically, directly under
the jacking point of the vehicle.
Observe the following when raising the vehi- cle:
R only use the vehicle-specifi cjack that has
been tested and approved by Mercedes-Benz
to rais ethe vehicle. If the jack is used incor-
rectly, it could tip over while the vehicl eis
raised.
R the jack is designed only to rais eand hold the
vehicl efor as hort time while awhee lisb eing
changed. It is not permissibl etouse it to per-
form maintenance work under the vehicle.
R avoi dchanging the whee lonuphill and down-
hill slopes.
R before raising the vehicle, safeguard it from
rolling awaybya pplying the parking brake and
positioning whee lchocks. Do not release the
parking brake while the vehicl eisraised.
R the jack must be placed on afirm, flat and
non-slip surface. On aloose surface, alarge,
flat load-bearing underlay must be used .Ona
slippery surface, anon-slip underlay must be
used ,e.g. rubber mats.
R do not use wooden blocks or similar objects
as ajack underlay.O therwise, the jack willn ot
be abletoa chieve its load-bearing capacity
due to the restricted height.
R make sure that the distance betwee nthe
underside of the tyres and the ground does
not exceed 3cm.
R never place yourh ands or feet under the
raised vehicle.
R do not lie under the vehicle.
R do not start the engine when the vehicl eis

caps: the whee lbolts are covered by ahub cap.
Before you can unscrew the whee lbolts, you
must remove the hub cap. Two different variants
can be fitted. Vehicles with plastic hub cap:
X To remove: turn the centre cover of hub
cap :anti-clockwis eand remove.
X To fit: before fitting, ensure that hub cap :is
in the open position. To do this, turn the
centre cover anti-clockwise.
X Position hub cap :and turn the centre cover
clockwise until hub cap :engage sphysically
and audibly.
X Make sure that hub cap :is fitted securely. Vehicles with aluminium hub cap:
X To remove: take socket;and whee lwrench
= from the vehicl etool kit (Y page 336).
X Position socket ;on hub cap :.
X Position whee lwrench =on socket ;.
X Using whee lwrench =,turn hub cap :anti-
clockwise and remove it.
X To fit: before fitting, check hub cap :and
the whee larea for dirt and clean if necessary.
X Put hub cap :in position and turn until it is in
the right position.
X Position socket ;on hub cap :.
X Attach whee lwrench =to socket ;and

Tighten the wheel bolts evenly in acrosswise
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 tyre-change
tool kit in the boot again.
X Mercedes-AMG vehicles and vehicles
with AMG equipment:
insert the cover into
the outer sill.
X Check the air pressure of the newly fitted
wheel and adjust accordingly.
Observe the recommended tyre pressure
(Y page 356).
If you are driving with the emergenc yspare
wheel fitted, the tyre pressure loss warning sys-
tem or the tyre pressure monitor cannot func-
tion reliably .Only restart the tyre pressure loss
warning system or tyre pressure monitor when
the defective wheel has been replaced with a
new wheel.
Vehicles with atyrep ressur emonitor: all fit-
ted wheels must be equipped with functioning
sensors. Wheel-tyr
ecombination
You can ask for information regarding permitted wheel-tyre combinations at aMercedes-Benz
Servic eCentre.
! 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.C ertain
characteristics, e.g. handling, vehicle noise
emissions or fuel consumption, may other-
wise be adversely affected. In addition, when
driving with aload, tyre dimension variations
could cause the tyres to come into contact
with the bodywork and axle components.T his
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,s ince previ-
ous damage cannot alway sbedetected on
retreaded tyres. As aresult, 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 acertain wheel size, the lower the ride
comfor tisonp oor road surfaces. Roll comfort
and suspension comfor tare reduced and the
risk of damage to the wheels and tyres as a
result of driving over obstacles increases.
The recommended tyre pressures can be found
in the tyre pressure table on the fuel filler flap.
For further information on tyre pressure, see
(Y page 356). Check tyre pressures regularly
and only when the tyres are cold. 366

Notes on the vehicle equipment
–always fit the
vehicle:
R with tyres of the same size across an axle
(left/right)
R with the same type of tyres at agiven time
(summer tyres, winter tyres, MOExtended
tyres)
Exception: it is permissible to fit adifferent
type or make in the event of aflat tyre.
Observe the "MOExtended tyres (tyres with
run-flat characteristics)" section
(Y page 337).
Vehicles with MOExtended tyres are not equip-
ped with aTIREFIT kit at the factory. It is there-
fore recommended that you additionally equip
yourv ehicle with aTIREFIT kit if you fit tyres that
do not feature run-flat characteristics, e.g. win-
ter tyres. ATIREFIT kit can be obtained from a
qualifieds pecialist workshop. Emergencys

WARNING
The wheel/tyre dimensions and the tyre type of the spare wheel/emergency spare wheel
and the wheel to be replaced may differ. Fit-
ting aspare wheel/emergency spare wheel
may severely impairt he driving characteris-
tics. There is arisk of accident.
To prevent hazardou ssituations:
R Adapt yourd riving style accordingly and
drive carefully.
R Never fit more than one spare wheel/emer-
gency spare wheel if the dimensions are
different to those of the wheel being
replaced.
R Only use aspare wheel/emergency spare
wheel briefly if the dimensions are different to those of the wheel being replaced.
R Do not switch off ESP ®
.
R Have the spare wheel/emergency spare
wheel in questionr eplaced at the nearest
qualifieds pecialist workshop. Make sure
that the wheel/tyre dimensions and tyre
type are correct. When using an emergency spare wheel or spare
wheel of adifferent size, you must not exceed
the maximum speed of 80 km/h.
Snow chains must not be fitted to emergency
spare wheels. General notes
You can ask for information regarding permitted
emergency spare wheelsataM ercedes-Benz
Service Centre.
You shouldr egularly check the pressure of all
yourt yres, including the emergency spare
wheel,p articularly prior to long trips, and cor-
rect the pressure as necessary (Y page 356).
The valueont he wheel is valid.
An emergency spare wheel may also be fitted
against the direction of rotation. Observe the
time restriction on use as well as the speed lim- itation specifie donthe emergency spare wheel.
Replace the tyres after six years at the latest,
regardless of wear. This also applies to the
emergency spare wheel.
If you are driving with the emergency spare
wheel fitted, the tyre pressure loss warning sys- tem or the tyre pressure monitor cannot func-
tion reliably.O nly restart the tyre pressure loss
warning system or tyre pressure monitor when
the defective wheel has been replaced with a
new wheel.
Vehicles with tyre pressure monitor: after
fitting an emergency spare wheel,t he system
may still display the tyre pressure of the
removed wheel for afew minutes. The valued is-
played for the position where the emergency
spare wheel is fitted is not the same as the cur- rent tyre pressure of the emergency spare
wheel. Removing the emergencys
pare wheel
The emergency spare wheel is secured in the
emergency spare wheel bag in the boot.
X Open the boot.
X Detach the fastening straps.
X Unhook retaining spring hooks of fastening
straps from the retainers.
X Remove the emergency spare wheel bag with
