The jack is designed exclusively for jacking
up the vehicle at the jack take-up brackets
built into either side of the vehicle. To help
avoid personal injury, use the jack only to lift
the vehicle during a wheel change. Never
get beneath the vehicle while it is supported
by the jack. Keep hands and feet away from
the area under the lifted vehicle. Always
firmly set parking brake and block wheels
before raising vehicle with jack.
Vehicles with Minispare wheel
(except E 55 AMG):
One wheel chock is included with the
vehicle tool kit (୴ page 424).
̈
Take the Minispare wheel, wheel
wrench and the jack out of the trunk
When changing wheel on a level surface:
(
୴ page 422).
̈
Place the wheel chock in front of and
another sizable object behind the
wheel that is diagonally opposite to the
wheel being changed.
Vehicles with collapsible tire
(E 55 AMG only):
̈
Take the collapsible tire, wheel wrench,
jack and electric air pump out of the
cargo compartment (୴ page 422).
Always try lifting the vehicle using the jack
on a level surface. However, should
circumstances require you to do so on a
hill, place the wheel chock and the other
sizeable object as follows:
Do not disengage parking brake while the
vehicle is raised. Be certain that the jack is
always vertical (plumb line) when in use, es-
pecially on hills. Always try to use the jack
on level surface. Be sure that the jack arm is
fully seated in the jack take-up bracket. Al-
ways lower the vehicle onto sufficient ca-
pacity jackstands before working under the
vehicle.
̈
Place the wheel chock and another siz-
able object on the downhill side block-
ing both wheels of the axle not being
worked on.
