WARNING Risk of accident from losing a
wheel
Oiled or greased wheel bolts can cause the
wheel bolts to come loose, as too can dam‐
aged wheel bolts or wheel hub threads.
#
Never oil or grease the threads.
#
In the event of damage to the threads,
contact a qualified specialist workshop
immediately.
#
Have the damaged wheel bolts or dam‐
aged hub threads replaced.
#
Do not continue driving.
#
Observe the information on the choice of
tyres (
/
page 350).
For tyres with a specified direction of rotation,
an arrow on the side wall of the tyre indicates
the correct direction of rotation. Observe the
direction of rotation when fitting.

brake discs: during removal and reposition‐
ing of the wheel, the wheel rim can strike the
ceramic-brake disk and damage it.

Take particular care.

Ask another person for assistance or
use a second centring pin.

Slide the wheel to be mounted onto the cen‐
tring pin and push it on.

WARNING Risk of injury from tightening

which have been approved by Mercedes-
Benz and for the wheel in question.

pattern in the order indicated until they are
finger-tight.
