3 Tool kit
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.
Note:
First remove the vehicle jack, then the
spare wheel; reinstall in reverse order.
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
while the 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.
Vehicle Tools
The vehicle tools (3) are located below
the jack.
Wheels
Replace rims or tires with the same
designation, manufacturer and type as
shown on the original part. See your
authorized MERCEDES-BENZ dealer
for further information.
Warning!
Do not mix different tire con-
struction types (i.e. radial, bias, and
bias-belted) on your car because
handling may be adversely affected
and may result in loss of control.
See your authorized MERCEDES-
BENZ dealer for information on tested
and recommended rims and tires for
summer and winter operation. They can
also offer advice concerning tire service
and purchase.
