Mounting a new wheel

WARNING

Oiled or greased wheel bolts or damaged

wheel bolts/hub threads can cause the wheel

bolts to come loose. As a result, you could

lose a wheel while driving. There is a risk of

accident.

Never oil or grease wheel bolts. In the event of

damage to the threads, contact a qualified

specialist workshop immediately. Have the

damaged wheel bolts or hub threads

replaced/renewed. Do not continue driving.

WARNING

If you tighten the wheel bolts or wheel nuts

when the vehicle is raised, the jack could tip

over. There is a risk of injury.

Only tighten the wheel bolts or wheel nuts

when the vehicle is on the ground.

Always pay attention to the instructions and

safety notes in the "Changing a wheel" sec-

tion (Y page 358).

Only use wheel bolts that have been designed

for the wheel and the vehicle. For safety rea-

sons, Mercedes-Benz recommends that you

only use wheel bolts which have been

approved for Mercedes-Benz vehicles and the

respective wheel.

To prevent damage to the paintwork, hold

the wheel securely against the wheel hub

while screwing in the first wheel bolt.
