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 drive system 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.

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 Damage to the vehicle due to using an unsuitable jack

You can damage the vehicle and, in particular the high-voltage battery, if you use a jack that is not specifically designed for the jack support points of the vehicle.

Only use jacks that are specifically designed for the jack support points, or use an appropriate adapter.
