Securing the vehicle against rolling
away If your vehicle is equipped with a wheel chock, it
can be found in the tyre-change tool kit
(Y page 297).
The folding wheel chock is an additional secur-
ing measure to safeguard the vehicle from roll-
ing away, for example when changing a wheel.
X Fold both plates upwards :.
X Fold out lower plate ;.
X Insert the lugs on the lower plate fully into the
openings in base plate =.X
Place chocks or other suitable items under
the front and rear of the wheel that is diago-
nally opposite the wheel you wish to change.
Raising the vehicle G
WARNING
If you do not position the jack correctly at the appropriate jacking point of the vehicle, the jack could tip over with the vehicle raised.
There is a risk of injury.
Only position the jack at the appropriate jack- ing point of the vehicle. The base of the jack
must be positioned vertically, directly under
the jacking point of the vehicle.
Observe the following when raising the vehicle:
R to raise the vehicle, only use the vehicle-spe-
cific jack that has been tested and approved
by Mercedes-Benz. If the jack is used incor-
rectly, it could tip over while the vehicle is
raised.
R the jack is designed only to raise and hold the
vehicle for a short time while a wheel is being
changed. It is not permissible to use it to per- form maintenance work under the vehicle.
R avoid changing the wheel on uphill and down-
hill slopes.
R before raising the vehicle, safeguard it from
rolling away by applying the parking brake and
positioning wheel chocks. Do not release the parking brake while the vehicle is raised.
R the jack must be placed on a firm, flat and
non-slip surface. On a loose surface, a large,
flat 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 do not lie under the vehicle.
R do not start the engine when the vehicle is
raised.
R do not 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. 322

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 ofdamage 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.
It is imperative to observe the instructions and
safety notes on "Changing a wheel"
(Y page 321).
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 Slide the wheel to be mounted onto the cen-
tring pin and push it on.
X Tighten the wheel bolts until they are finger-
tight.
X Unscrew the centring pin.
X Tighten the last wheel bolt until it is 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.
Have the tightening torque immediately
checked at a qualified specialist workshop
after a wheel is changed.
X Turn the crank of the jack anti-clockwise 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 tyre-change
tool kit in the boot again.
X 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 316).

Changing a wheelWheels and tyres

To prevent hazardous situations:
R Adapt your driving 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 a spare 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 question replaced at the nearest
qualified specialist workshop. Make sure
that the wheel/tyre dimensions and tyre
type are correct.
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
You can ask for information regarding permitted
emergency spare wheels at a Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre.
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 316).
The value on the 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 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.
i If you are driving with the emergency spare
wheel fitted, the tyre pressure loss warning
system or the tyre pressure monitor cannot
function reliably. Only restart the tyre pres-
sure loss warning system or tyre pressure
monitor when the defective wheel has been
replaced with a new wheel.
Vehicles with a tyre pressure monitor: for a
few minutes after an emergency spare wheel is fitted, the system may still display the tyre
pressure of the removed wheel. The value dis-
played for the position where the emergency
spare wheel is fitted is not the same as the
current tyre pressure of the emergency spare
wheel. "Minispare" emergency spare wheel

Tampering with the engine electron-
ics
! Only have work carried out on the engine
electronics and its associated parts, such as
control units, sensors, actuating components
and connector leads, at a qualified specialist
workshop. Vehicle components may other-
wise wear more quickly and the vehicle's
operating permit may be invalidated. Retrofitting two-way radios and
mobile phones (RF transmitters)
G
WARNING
If RF transmitters are tampered with or not
properly retrofitted, the electromagnetic radi- ation they emit can interfere with the vehicle
electronics. This may jeopardise the opera-
tional safety of the vehicle. There is a risk of an
accident.
You should have all work on electrical and
electronic components carried out at a quali-
fied specialist workshop. G
WARNING
If you operate RF transmitters incorrectly in
the vehicle, the electromagnetic radiation
could interfere with the vehicle electronics,
e.g.:
R if the RF transmitter is not connected to an
exterior aerial
R the exterior aerial has been fitted incor-
rectly or is not a low-reflection type This could jeopardise the operating safety of
the vehicle. There is a risk of an accident.
Have the low-reflection exterior aerial fitted at
a qualified specialist workshop. When oper-
ating RF transmitters in the vehicle, always
connect them to the low-reflection exterior
aerial.
! The operating permit may be invalidated if
the instructions for installation and use of RF
transmitters are not observed.
In particular, the following conditions must be complied with:
R only approved wavebands may be used.
R observe the maximum permissible output
in these wavebands.
R only approved aerial positions may be
used.
Excessive levels of electromagnetic radiation
may cause damage to your health and to the
health of others. The use of an exterior aerial
takes into consideration the scientific discus-
sion surrounding the possible health risk posed
by electromagnetic fields.
Observe the notes on operating mobile phones
(Y page 275).
The following aerial positions may be used for
the correct installation of RF transmitters: Approved aerial positions
