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.
Wheels
Replace rims or tires with the same
designation, manufacturer and type as
shown on the original part. See your
authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer for
further information.
See your authorized Mercedes-Benz
dealer for information on tested and
recommended rims and tires for
summer and winter operation. They
can also offer advice concerning tire
service and purchase.
Tire Replacement
Front tires should be replaced in sets.
Rims and tires must be of the correct
size and type. For dimensions, see
"Technical Data".
We recommend that you break in new
tires for approx. 60 miles (100 km) at
moderate speed.
It is imperative that the wheel
mounting bolts be fastened to a
tightening torque of 80 ft .lb. (110 Nm)
whenever wheels are mounted.
For rim and tire specifications, refer to
"Technical Data"
Warning!
Worn, old tires can cause accidents.
If the tire tread is badly worn, or if
the tires have sustained damage,
replace them.
When replacing rims, use only
genuine Mercedes-Benz wheel bolts
specified for the particular rim
type. Failure to do so can result in
the bolts loosening and possibly an
accident.
