Mounting a new wheel
WARNING
Always replace wheel bolts that are damaged
or rusted.
Never apply oil or grease to wheel bolts.
Damaged wheel hub threads should be
repaired immediately. Do not continue to
drive under these circumstances! Contact an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center or call
Roadside Assistance.
Incorrect wheel bolts or improperly tightened
wheel bolts can cause the wheel to come off.
This could cause an accident. Make sure to
use the correct wheel bolts.
WARNING
Only use genuine Mercedes-Benz wheel bolts.
Other wheel bolts may come loose.
Do not tighten the wheel bolts when the
vehicle is raised. Otherwise, the vehicle could
fall off the jack.
WARNING
Make sure to use the original length wheel
bolts when remounting the original wheel
after it has been repaired.
Clean the wheel and wheel hub contact
surfaces.
To prevent damage to the
paintwork, hold
the wheel securely against the wheel hub
while screwing in the first wheel bolt.
Place the emergency spare wheel on the
wheel hub and push it on.
Tighten the wheel bolts until they are
finger-tight.
