Lowering the vehicle
G
WARNING
The wheels could work loose if the wheel nuts
and bolts are not tightened to the specified
tightening torque. There is a risk of accident.
Have the tightening torque immediately
checked at a qualified specialist workshop
after a wheel is changed.
!
Vehicles with a collapsible emergency
spare wheel: Inflate the collapsible emer-
gency spare wheel using the tyre inflation
compressor before lowering the vehicle. The
rim could otherwise be damaged.
Turn the crank of the jack anti-clockwise until
X
the vehicle is once again standing firmly on
the ground.
Place the jack to one side.
X
Tighten the wheel bolts evenly in a crosswise
X
pattern in the sequence indicated (: to A).
The specified tightening torque is 180 Nm.
Turn the jack back to its initial position.
X
Stow the jack and the rest of the tyre-change
X
tool kit in the load compartment again.
Check the air pressure of the newly fitted
X
wheel and adjust accordingly.
Observe the recommended tyre pressure
(
page 264).
Y
If you are driving with the emergency spare
wheel fitted, the tyre pressure monitor cannot
function reliably. Only restart the tyre pressure
monitor when the defective wheel has been
replaced with a new wheel. All fitted wheels
must be equipped with functioning sensors.
Wheel and tyre combinations
You can ask for information regarding permitted
wheel-tyre combinations at a Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre.
!
For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you only use tyres and wheels
which have been approved by Mercedes-Benz
specifically for your vehicle.
These are specially adapted to the control
systems, such as ABS or ESP
marked as follows:
MO = Mercedes-Benz Original
R
MOE = Mercedes-Benz Original Extended
R
(tyres featuring run-flat characteristics)
MO1 = Mercedes-Benz Original (only cer-
R
tain AMG tyres)
Mercedes-Benz Original Extended tyres may
only be used on wheels that have been spe-
cifically approved by Mercedes-Benz.
Only use tyres, wheels or accessories tested
and approved by Mercedes-Benz. Certain
characteristics, e.g. handling, vehicle noise
emissions or fuel consumption, may other-
wise be adversely affected. In addition, when
driving with a load, tyre dimension variations
could cause the tyres to come into contact
with the bodywork and axle components. This
could result in damage to the tyres or the
vehicle.
Mercedes-Benz accepts no liability for dam-
age resulting from the use of tyres, wheels or
accessories other than those tested and
approved.
Further information about wheels, tyres and
approved combinations can be obtained from
any qualified specialist workshop.
!
Retreaded tyres are neither tested nor rec-
ommended by Mercedes-Benz, since previ-
ous damage cannot always be detected on
retreaded tyres. As a result, Mercedes-Benz
cannot guarantee vehicle safety if retreaded
tyres are fitted. Do not fit used tyres if you
have no information about their previous
usage.
!
Large wheels: the lower the section width
for a certain wheel size, the lower the ride
comfort is on poor road surfaces. Roll comfort
and suspension comfort are reduced and the
risk of damage to the wheels and tyres as a
result of driving over obstacles increases.
