Raising the vehicle

G

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

jacking point of the vehicle. The base of the

jack must be positioned vertically, directly

under the jacking point of the vehicle.

!

The jack is designed exclusively for

jacking up the vehicle at the jacking points.

Otherwise, your vehicle could be damaged.

Observe the following when raising the

vehicle:

R

to raise the vehicle, only use the vehicle-

specific jack that has been tested and

approved by Mercedes-Benz. If used

incorrectly, the jack could tip over with the

vehicle raised.

R

the jack is designed only to raise and hold

the vehicle for a short time while a wheel

is being changed. It is not suited for

performing maintenance work under the

vehicle.

R

avoid changing the wheel on uphill and

downhill slopes.

R

before raising the vehicle, secure it from

rolling away by applying the parking brake

and inserting wheel chocks. Never

disengage the parking brake while the

vehicle is raised.

R

the jack must be placed on a firm, flat and

non-slip surface. On a loose surface, a

large, load-bearing underlay must be used.

On a slippery surface, a non-slip underlay

must be used, e.g. rubber mats.

R

do not use wooden blocks or similar

objects as a jack underlay. Otherwise, the

jack will not be able to achieve its load-

bearing capacity due to the restricted

height.

R

make sure that the distance between the

underside of the tires and the ground does

not exceed 1.2 in (3 cm).

R

never place your hands and feet under the

raised vehicle.

R

never lie under the raised vehicle.

R

never start the engine when the vehicle is

raised.

R

never open or close a door or the trunk lid/

tailgate when the vehicle is raised.

R

make sure that no persons are present in

the vehicle when the vehicle is raised.

AMG vehicles with Performance Studio

equipment: the wheel bolts are covered by a

hub cap. Before you are able to unscrew the

wheel bolts, you must first remove the hub

cap.
