Vehicle tool kit
General notes
Vehicles with a TIREFIT kit: the TIREFIT kit is
located in the stowage well under the boot
floor.
Vehicles with a tyre-change tool kit: the tyre-
change tool kit is in the stowage well under
the boot floor.
For vehicles with an emergency spare wheel,
see "Removing the emergency spare wheel"
( Y page 332).
i Apart from some country-specific var-
iants, vehicles are not equipped with tyre-
changing tools. Some tools for changing a
wheel are specific to the vehicle. For more
information on which tools are required and
approved to perform a wheel change on
your vehicle, consult a qualified specialist
workshop.
Necessary tyre-changing tools can include,
for example:
R Jack
R Wheel chock
R Wheel wrench

Fitting/removing the towing eye
Fitting the towing eyeXRemove the towing eye from the stowage
space.
The towing eye is located with the vehicle
tool kit under the boot floor ( Y page 273).
Vehicles with a TIREFIT kit: the towing eye
is located under the tyre inflation compres-
sor.XPress the mark on cover : inwards in the
direction of the arrow.XRemove cover : from the opening.XScrew the towing eye in clockwise to the
stop and tighten it.
Vehicles with a trailer tow hitch do not have
a bracket for the screw-in towing eye at the
back. If you intend to use the vehicle for tow-
ing, fold out the ball coupling ( Y page 203)
and secure the towbar to it.
Removing the towing eye
XLoosen the towing eye and unscrew it.XPosition the top of cover : in the bumper
and press it in at the bottom until it
engages.XPlace the towing eye in the stowage well
under the boot floor ( Y page 273).XVehicles with a TIREFIT kit: replace the tyre
inflation compressor.
Towing the vehicle with the front axle

! The ignition must be switched off if you
are towing the vehicle with the front axle
raised. Intervention by ESP ®
could other-
wise damage the brake system.
XTurn the key to position 2 in the ignition
lock.XWhen the vehicle is stationary, depress the
brake pedal and keep it depressed.XVehicles with manual transmission:
depress the clutch pedal fully and shift to
neutral.

Rthe jack must be placed on a firm, flat and
non-slip surface. On a loose surface, a
large, load-bearing underlay must be used.
On a slippery surface, a non-slip underlay
must be used, e.g. rubber mats.
R do not use wooden blocks or similar
objects as a jack underlay. Otherwise, the
jack will not be able to achieve its load-
bearing capacity due to the restricted
height.
R make sure that the distance between the
underside of the tyres and the ground does
not exceed 3 cm.
R never place your hands or feet under the
raised vehicle.
R never lie under the raised vehicle.
R never start the engine when the vehicle is
raised.
R never open or close a door or the boot lid
when the vehicle is raised.
R make sure that no persons are present in
the vehicle when the vehicle is raised.
Steel wheel with wheel trim
XVehicles with steel wheels: carefully
reach into two of the wheel trim openings
and remove the wheel trim.XUsing wheel wrench :, loosen the bolts on
the wheel you wish to change by about one
full turn. Do not unscrew the bolts com-
pletely.
The jacking points are located just behind the
front wheel arches and just in front of the rear
wheel arches (arrows).

When using an emergency spare wheel or
spare wheel of a different size, you must not
exceed the maximum speed of 80 km/h.
Snow chains must not be fitted to emergency
spare wheels.
General notes
i Apart from some country-specific var-
iants, the vehicles are not equipped with an
emergency spare wheel. Emergency spare
wheels are specific to the vehicle. For more
information on which emergency spare
wheels are approved for your vehicle, con-
sult a qualified specialist workshop.
You should regularly check the pressure of all
your tyres, including the emergency spare
wheel, particularly prior to long trips, and cor-
rect the pressure as necessary (Y page 319).
The value on the wheel or as given in the
"Wheels and tyres" section ( Y page 332) is
valid.
i If you are driving with the collapsible
emergency spare wheel fitted, the tyre
pressure loss warning system or the tyre
pressure monitor cannot function reliably.
Only restart the tyre pressure loss warning
system/tyre pressure monitor when the
defective wheel has been replaced with a
new wheel.
Vehicles with tyre pressure monitor:
after mounting an emergency spare wheel,
the system may still display the tyre pres-
sure of the removed wheel for a few
minutes. The value displayed for the moun-
ted emergency spare wheel is not the same
as the current tyre pressure of the emer-
gency spare wheel.
An emergency spare wheel may also be fitted
against the direction of rotation. Observe the
time restriction on use as well as the speed
limitation specified on the emergency spare
wheel.
Replace the tyres after six years at the latest,
regardless of wear. This also applies to the
emergency spare wheel.

The following aerial positions may be used for
the correct installation of RF transmitters:
Approved aerial positions
:Front roof area;Rear roof area=Rear wing?Boot lid
i On vehicles with panorama sliding sun-
roof, fitting an aerial to the front roof area
is not permitted.
On the rear wing, it is recommended that
you position the aerial on the side of the
vehicle closest to the centre of the road.
Use Technical Specification ISO/TS 21609
(Road Vehicles – "EMC guidelines for fitting
aftermarket radio frequency transmitting
equipment") when retrofitting RF (radio fre-
quency) transmitters. Comply with the legal
requirements for add-on parts.
If your vehicle has fittings for two-way radio
equipment, use the power supply or aerial
connections intended for use with the basic
wiring. Be sure to observe the manufacturer's
additional instructions when installing.
Deviations with respect to wavebands, maxi-
mum transmission outputs or aerial positions
must be approved by Mercedes-Benz.
The maximum transmission output (PEAK) at
the base of the aerial must not exceed the
following values:WavebandMaximum
