Lowering the vehicle

WARNING

The wheels could work loose if the wheel nuts

and bolts are not tightenedto 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.

Turn the crank of the jack counter-

clockwise until the vehicle is once again

standing firmly on the ground.

Place the jack to one side.

Tighten the wheel bolts evenly in a

crosswise pattern in the sequence

indicated (: to A). The tightening torque

must be 96 lb-ft (130 Nm).

Turn the jack back to its initial position and

store it together with the rest of the tire-

change tool kit in the trunk/cargo

compartment.

Transport the faulty wheel in the trunk/

cargo compartment.

Depending on the size of the wheel, you

may also be able to secure the defective

wheel in the spare wheel well. In this case,

you will have to remove the stowage well

casing from the spare wheel well and stow

it securely in the trunk/cargo

compartment.

Check the tire pressure of the newly

mounted wheel and adjust it if necessary.

Observe the recommended tire pressure

(Y page 313).

Vehicles with tire pressure monitor: all

wheels mounted must be equipped with

functioning sensors.

Wheel and tire combinations

General notes

For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz

recommends that you only use tires and

wheels which have been approved by

Mercedes-Benz specifically for your

vehicle.

These tires have been specially adapted for

use with the control systems, such as ABS

or ESP

, and are marked as follows:

MO =Mercedes-BenzOriginal

MOE =Mercedes-BenzOriginal Extended

(tires featuring run-flat characteristics)

MO1 =Mercedes-BenzOriginal (only

certain AMG tires)

Mercedes-Benz Original Extended tires

may only be used on wheels that have been

specifically approved by Mercedes-Benz.

Only use tires, wheels or accessories

tested and approved by Mercedes-Benz.

Certain characteristics, e.g. handling,

vehicle noise emissions or fuel

consumption, may otherwise be adversely

affected. In addition, when driving with a

load, tire dimension variations could cause

the tires to come into contact with the

bodywork and axle components. This could

resultindamage to the tires or the vehicle.

Mercedes-Benzaccepts no liability for

damage resulting from the use of tires,

wheels or accessories otherthan those

tested and approved.

Information on tires, wheels and approved

combinations can be obtained from any

qualified specialist workshop.

Retreaded tires are neither tested nor

recommended by Mercedes-Benz, since

previous damage cannot always be

detected on retreaded tires.As a result,

Mercedes-Benz cannot guarantee vehicle

safety if retreaded tires are mounted. Do

not mount used tires if you have no

information abouttheir previous usage.

i The recommended pressures for various

operating conditions can be found:

on the Tire and Loading Information

placard with the recommended tire

pressures on the B-pillar on the driver's

side

in the tire pressure table on the inside of

the fuel filler flap

Observe the notes on recommended tire

pressures under various operating

conditions (Y page 313).

Check tire pressures regularly, and only

when the tires are cold. Comply with the

maintenance recommendations of the tire

manufacturer in the vehicle document

wallet.

i Notes on the vehicle equipment –always

equip the vehicle with:

tires of the same size on a given axle

(left/right)

the same type of tires at a given time

(summer tires, winter tires, MOExtended

tires)

On the following pages, you can find

information on approved wheel rims and

tire sizes for equipping your vehicle with

winter tires. Winter tires are not available

at the factory as standard equipmentor

optional extras.

If you would like to equip your vehicle with

approved winter tires, you may also, in

certain circumstances, require rims of the

appropriate size. The size of the approved

winter tires may deviate from that of the

standard tires. This is dependent on the

model and the equipment installed at the

factory.

The tires and wheel rims, as well as further

information, can be obtained at a qualified

specialist workshop.
