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.
!
Only position the jack at the appropriate
jacking point of the vehicle. Otherwise, you
could damage the vehicle.
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 incor-
rectly, the jack could tip over with the vehi-
cle raised.
R
The jack is designed only to raise and hold
the vehicle for a short time while a wheel
is being changed. It must not be used 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. Do not disen-
gage 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,
flat, 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 capa-
city 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
Do not lie under the vehicle.
R
Do not start the engine when the vehicle is
raised.
R
Never open or close a door or the tailgate
when the vehicle is raised.
R
Make sure that no persons are present in
the vehicle when the vehicle is raised.
