Raising the vehicle when changing a wheel

Requirements:

There are no persons in the vehicle.
The vehicle has been prepared for a wheel change More.

Important notes on using the jack:

Use only a vehicle-specific jack that has been approved by Mercedes-Benz to raise the vehicle.
The jack is only designed for raising and holding the vehicle for a short time while a wheel is being changed and not for maintenance work under the vehicle.
The jack must be placed on a firm, flat and non-slip surface. If necessary, use a large, flat, load-bearing, non-slip underlay.
The foot of the jack must be positioned vertically under the jack support point.

Rules of conduct when the vehicle is raised:

Never place your hands or feet under the vehicle.
Never lie under the vehicle.
Do not start the engine and do not release the electric parking brake.
Do not open or close any doors or the tailgate.

Using the wheel wrench, loosen the wheel bolts on the wheel you wish to change by about one full turn. Do not unscrew the bolts completely.

Position of jack support points

WARNING Risk of injury from incorrect positioning of the jack

If you do not position the jack correctly at the appropriate jacking point of the vehicle, the jack could tip with the vehicle raised.

Only position the jack at the appropriate jacking point of the vehicle. The base of the jack must be positioned vertically under the jacking point of the vehicle.

NOTE Vehicle damage from the jack

If you do not position the jack correctly at the appropriate jack support point of the vehicle, the jack could tip over with the vehicle raised.

The jack is designed exclusively for jacking up the vehicle at the jack support points.

Take the ratchet out of the tyre-change tool kit and place it on the hexagon nut of the jack so that the letters "AUF" are visible.
