vehicle may be equipped with a scissors-type
jack (located under the cargo compartment
floor). If so equipped, only use this jack when
jacking up the vehicle as otherwise the vehicle’s
underbody can be damaged. See separate
instructions for scissors-type jack.

Warning!

When jacking up the vehicle, only use the

jack which has been specifically approved

by Mercedes-Benz for your vehicle.

The jack is designed exclusively for jacking

up the vehicle at the jack take-up brackets

built into both sides of the vehicle. Make

sure the jack arm is fully seated in the jack

take-up bracket.

The jack is intended only for lifting the

vehicle briefly for wheel changes. It is not

suited for performing maintenance work

under the vehicle. To help avoid personal in-

jury, use the jack only to lift the vehicle dur-

ing a wheel change.

Never get beneath the vehicle while it is sup-

ported by the jack. Keep hands and feet

away from the area under the lifted vehicle.

Always lower the vehicle onto sufficient

capacity jackstands before working under

the vehicle.

Always firmly set parking brake and block

wheels with wheel chocks or other sizeable

objects before raising vehicle with jack. Do

not disengage parking brake while the vehi-

cle is raised.

Make sure that the ground on which the ve-

hicle is standing and where you place the

jack is solid, level and not slippery. If neces-

sary, use a large underlay. On slippery sur-

faces, such as tiled floors, you should use a

non-slip underlay, for example a rubber mat.

Do not use wooden blocks or similar objects

to support the jack. Otherwise the jack may

not be able to achieve its load-bearing ca-

pacity if it is not at its full height.

Never start the engine when the vehicle is

raised.

Also observe the notes on the jack.
