Vehicle Jack; Wheels - Mercedes-Benz 300 SE Owner's Manual

Vehicle Jack

See illustration for proper storage of
jack.
Before storing the jack, the jack
arm (1) must be lowered almost to the
base (2) of the jack and should rest on
the felt in the spare wheel well.
Warning!
The jack is designed exclusively
for jacking up the vehicle at the
jack tubes built into either side of
the vehicle. Use the jack only to
lift the vehicle during a wheel
change. Never get beneath the
vehicle while it is supported by
the jack. Keep hands and feet
away from the area under the
lifted vehicle. Always firmly set
parking brake and block wheels
before raising vehicle with jack.
Do not disengage parking brake
3027
while vehicle is raised. Be certain
that the jack is always vertical
when in use, especially on hills.
Lower the vehicle onto sufficient
capacity jackstands before
working under the vehicle.

Warning!
Do not mix different tire con­
struction types (i.e. radial, bias,

versely affected and may result in
