Risk of accident
Have the "Minispare" emergency spare
wheel* or the spare wheel* replaced with a
new wheel as soon as possible at a qualified
specialist workshop which has the necessary
specialist knowledge and tools to carry out
the work required. Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you use a Mercedes-Benz Service
Centre for this purpose. In particular, work
relevant to safety or on safety-related sys-
tems must be carried out at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop.
Preparing the vehicle

Prepare the vehicle as described
(
Y
page 400).
X
Place the wheels in the straight-ahead posi-
tion.
X
Remove the following items from the stow-
age well under the boot floor:
R
the "Minispare" emergency spare
wheel* or the spare wheel*
R
the container with the wheel bolts for the
"Minispare" emergency spare wheel* or
the spare wheel*
R
the vehicle tool kit
R
the wheel chock
R

X
Secure the vehicle to prevent it from rolling
away.
On level ground: place chocks or similar
items under the front and rear of the wheel
that is diagonally opposite the wheel you
wish to change.
X
On downhill gradients: place chocks or
similar items behind the wheels of the front
and rear axle.
X
Using wheel wrench
:
, loosen the bolts on
the wheel you wish to change by about one
full turn. Do not unscrew the bolts com-
pletely.
Raising the vehicle
G
Risk of injury
The jack is designed only to raise the vehicle
for a short time while a wheel is being
changed.
The vehicle must be placed on stands if you
intend to work under it.
Make sure that the jack is placed on a firm,
non-slip, level surface. Do not use wooden
blocks or similar objects as a jack underlay.
The vehicle could otherwise fall off the jack
and seriously injure you.
Do not start the engine at any time while the
wheel is being changed.
Do not lie under the vehicle when it is being
supported by the jack. If you do not raise the
vehicle as described, it could slip off the jack
(e.g. if the engine is started or a door or the
boot lid is opened or closed), and you could
be seriously injured.
G
Risk of accident
If you fail to position the jack correctly, the
vehicle may:

slip off the jack
R
injure you or others
R
be damaged
