Observe the instructions and safety notes on
changing a wheel ( / page 258).
#
For safety reasons, only use wheel bolts or
wheel nuts which have been approved by
Mercedes-Benz and for the wheel in question.
When you install the steel spare wheel, it is essen-
tial you use short wheel bolts for a steel wheel.
Using other wheel bolts when installing the steel
spare wheel may damage the brake system.

Vehicles with ultrawide-base tires: first install
the adapter for the more narrow spare wheel
on the wheel hub.

Slide the wheel which is to be re-install onto
the wheel hub or the adapter for the spare
wheel and push it on.
Vehicles with steel wheels

Use the short wheel bolts intended for the
steel spare wheel, which are found in the vehi-
cle tool kit.
#
Screw in the wheel bolts until they are finger-
tight.
Vehicles with light alloy wheels
#
Use the long wheel bolts intended for the light-
alloy spare wheel, which are found in the vehi-
cle tool kit.
#
Screw in the wheel bolts until they are finger-
tight.

Front wheels with wheel nut cover: press the
wheel nut cover onto the wheel nuts.

WARNING Risk of accident due to incor-
rect tightening torque
The wheels could come loose if the wheel bolts
or wheel nuts are not tightened to the prescri-
bed torque.
#
Ensure that the wheel bolts or wheel nuts
are tightened to the prescribed tighten-
ing torque.
#
If you are not sure, do not move the vehi-
cle. Contact a qualified specialist work-
shop and have the tightening torque
checked immediately.
Requirements:
R
The new wheel has been installed
(
/
page 263).
Observe the notes on raising the vehicle
(
/
page 261).
Vehicles with rear wheel drive
Only use the middle rod and the pump lever rod
with the largest diameter for the jack as a lug
wrench extension. Only insert the middle rod on
the lug wrench, and always as far as it will go. Oth-
erwise, the rods could bend and deform so much
that they can no longer be used as pump levers for
the jack.
Vehicles with Super Single tires: if you mount the
spare wheel on the rear axle, do not exceed the
maximum speed of 34 mph (55 km/h) and the
maximum distance of 62 miles (100 km). Other-
wise, the rear axle differential could be damaged
due to the different wheel speeds.
#
Using the pump lever, slowly turn the drain
screw on the jack approximately one revolution
and carefully lower the vehicle.
#
Place the jack to one side.
