Raising the vehicle

WARNING
If you do not position the jack correctly at the
appropriate jacking point of the vehicle, the
jack could tip over with the vehicle raised.
There is a risk of injury.
Only position the jack at the appropriate jack-
ing point of the vehicle. The base of the jack
must be positioned vertically, directly under
the jacking point of the vehicle.
Observe the following when raising the vehi-
cle:
to raise the vehicle, only use the vehicle-spe-
R
cific jack that has been tested and approved
by Mercedes-Benz. If the jack is used incor-
rectly, it could tip over while the vehicle is
raised.
the jack is designed only to raise and hold the
R
vehicle for a short time while a wheel is being
changed. It is not permissible to use it to per-
form maintenance work under the vehicle.
Changing a wheel
avoid changing the wheel on uphill and down-
R
hill slopes.
before raising the vehicle, safeguard it from
R
rolling away by applying the parking brake and
positioning wheel chocks. Do not release the
parking brake while the vehicle is raised.
the jack must be placed on a firm, flat and
R
non-slip surface. On a loose surface, a large,
flat load-bearing underlay must be used. On a
slippery surface, a non-slip underlay must be
used, e.g. rubber mats.
do not use wooden blocks or similar objects
R
as a jack underlay. Otherwise, the jack will not
be able to achieve its load-bearing capacity
due to the restricted height.
make sure that the distance between the
R
underside of the tyres and the ground does
not exceed 3 cm.
never place your hands or feet under the
R
raised vehicle.
do not lie under the vehicle.
R
do not start the engine when the vehicle is
R
raised.
do not open or close a door or the tailgate
