Flat Tyre - Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class Owner's Manual

Flat tyre

Your vehicle may be equipped with:
the TIREFIT kit ( page 276)
a spare wheel* ( page 278)
a "Minispare" emergency spare wheel*
( page 277)
a collapsible emergency spare wheel
( page 278)
the MOE run-flat system* ( page 373)
Preparing the vehicle
Stop your vehicle as far away as possi-
ble from traffic and on a surface which
is firm, even and not slippery.
Switch on the hazard warning lamps.
Apply the handbrake.
G
Risk of injury
The jack is designed only to raise the vehicle
for a short while when a wheel is changed.
If you intend to work under the vehicle,
place the vehicle on stands.
Prepare the vehicle as described.
Make sure that the standing surface for the
vehicle and jack is firm and not slippery. Do
not use blocks of wood or similar as jacking
supports, as the jack will not be able to
achieve its load-bearing capacity due to the
restricted height.
Do not start the engine at any time while the
wheel is being changed.
Do not crawl under the vehicle while it is
supported by the jack. If you do not raise the
vehicle in the way described, it could slip off
the jack (e.g. when the engine is started or
the doors or boot lid are opened or closed).
Practical advice
Vehicles with manual transmission
Select either first or reverse gear.
Vehicles with automatic transmission*
Move the selector lever to P.
For all vehicles
Any passengers should leave the vehi-
cle, ensuring that they are not endan-
gered as they do so.
Place the warning triangle or switch on
hazard warning lamps at a suitable dis-
tance. Observe legal requirements.
