G Warning!
When jacking up the vehicle, only use the
jack which has been specifically approved
by Mercedes-Benz for your vehicle.
The jack is designed exclusively for jacking
up the vehicle at the jack take-up brackets
built into both sides of the vehicle. Make
sure the jack arm is fully seated in the jack
take-up bracket. The jack must always be
vertical when in use, especially on inclines
or declines.
The jack is intended only for lifting the
vehicle briefly for wheel changes. It is not
suited for performing maintenance work

Never get beneath the vehicle while it is

Always lower the vehicle onto sufficient
capacity jackstands before working under
