Raising the vehicle when changing a wheel
WARNING Risk of injury from jack tipping

If you park a vehicle with air suspension, the air suspension may remain activated for up to one hour, even when the ignition is switched off. If you then raise the vehicle with the jack, the air suspension will attempt to adjust the vehicle level.

The jack may tip.

Press the Service button on the air suspension remote control before raising the vehicle.

This prevents automatic readjustment of the vehicle level and prevents it from being raised or lowered manually.

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.
WARNING Risk of injury from vehicle tipping

On slopes, the jack could tip with the vehicle raised.

Never change a wheel on a slope.
Consult a qualified specialist workshop.
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.
Requirements:
  • There are no persons in the vehicle.

  • The vehicle is prepared for changing a wheel More.

Only position the jack on the jack support points intended for this purpose. You could otherwise damage the vehicle.

Important notes on using the jack:
  • Only use the vehicle-specific jack that has been tested and approved by Mercedes-Benz to raise the vehicle. If the jack is used incorrectly, it could tip over while the vehicle is raised.

  • The jack is designed only to raise the vehicle for a short time while a wheel is being changed and is not suitable for carrying out maintenance work under the vehicle.

  • Avoid changing a wheel on uphill and downhill slopes.

  • The jack must be placed on a firm, flat and non-slip surface. If necessary, use a large, flat, load bearing and non-slip underlay.

  • The base of the jack is positioned vertically under the jack support point.

Safety instructions while the vehicle is raised:
  • Do not put your hands or feet under the vehicle.

  • Do not lie underneath the vehicle.

  • Do not start the vehicle and do not release the parking brake.

  • Do not open or close any doors.

Vehicles with front wheel drive
Jack support points
Jack support point, front axle
Jack support point, rear axle
If necessary, turn the head of the jack.
Position jack at jack support point .
Turn the handwheel until the plate of the jack sits securely on jack support point .
Front axle:
position ratchet ring spanner from the tyre-change tool kit on the hexagon nut of the jack so that the lettering "AUF" is visible.
Rear axle:
position the extension rod and the socket wrench from the tyre-change tool kit on the hexagon nut of the jack and position ratchet ring spanner from the tyre-change tool kit on the extension rod until the lettering "AUF" is visible.
Turn ratchet ring spanner clockwise until jack sits completely on jack support point and the base of the jack lies evenly on the ground.
Turn ratchet ring spanner until the tyre is raised a maximum of 3 cm off the ground.
Loosen and remove the wheel More.
Vehicles with rear wheel drive
Jack support points

Only use the middle rod and the pump lever rod with the largest diameter for the jack as a wheel wrench extension. Only insert the middle rod on the wheel wrench, and always as far as it will go. Otherwise, the rods could bend and deform so much that they can no longer be used as pump levers for the jack.

To prepare the hydraulic jack:
insert the third rod of pump lever for the jack into the wheel wrench extension.
Close pressure release screw .
To do this, use the flattened section on pump lever to turn pressure release screw clockwise to the stop.

Do not turn pressure release screw more than one or two full turns. Hydraulic fluid could otherwise escape.

Insert pump lever with the largest rod into the recess on the jack and secure by turning it clockwise.
Place the jack vertically beneath the jack support points described below.

Jack support point, rear axle (example: platform vehicle up to 3.5 t)
Jack support point, rear axle (example: panel van and crewbus up to 4.0 t)
Jack support point, rear axle (vehicles 5.0 t)
Place the jack beneath the jack support point.
Vehicles with all-wheel drive:
turn jack spindle anti-clockwise as far as it will go.
Raise the vehicle until the tyre is raised a maximum of 3 cm off the ground.
Loosen and remove the wheel More.
