steel rims (located in trunk with spare

Wheel bolts 2 must be used when
mounting the Minispare wheel. The use
of any wheel bolts other than wheel

ly damage the vehicle's brakes.
Clean contact surfaces of wheel and
wheel hub.
!
To avoid paint damage, place wheel flat
against hub and hold it there while in-
stalling first wheel bolt.
Warning!
Always replace wheel bolts that are dam-
aged or rusted.
Never apply oil or grease to wheel bolts.
Damaged wheel hub threads should be re-
paired immediately. Do not continue to drive
under these circumstances! Contact an au-
thorized Mercedes-Benz Center or call
Roadside Assistance.
Incorrect wheel bolts or improperly tight-
ened wheel bolts can cause the wheel to
come off. This could cause an accident.
Make sure to use the correct wheel bolts.
