Warning!
G
When jacking up the vehicle, only use the 
jack which has been specifically approved 
by Mercedes-Benz for your vehicle.
The jack is designed exclusively for jacking 
up the vehicle at the jack take-up brackets 
built into both sides of the vehicle. Make 
sure the jack arm is fully seated in the jack 
take-up bracket. 
The jack is intended only for lifting the 
vehicle briefly for wheel changes. It is not 
suited for performing maintenance work 
under 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 sup-
ported by the jack. Keep hands and feet 
away from the area under the lifted vehicle. 
Always lower the vehicle onto sufficient 
capacity jackstands before working under 
the vehicle.
Always firmly set the parking brake and 
block wheels with wheel chocks or other 
sizeable objects before raising vehicle with 
jack. Do not release the parking brake while 
the vehicle is raised. 
Make sure that the ground on which the 
vehicle is standing and where you place the 
jack is solid, level and not slippery. If neces-
sary, use a large underlay. On slippery 
surfaces, such as tiled floors, you should 
use a non-slip underlay, for example a 
rubber mat.
Do not use wooden blocks or similar objects 
to support the jack. Otherwise the jack may 
not be able to achieve its load-bearing 
capacity if it is not at its full height.
Be certain that the jack is always vertical 
(plumb line) when in use, especially on hills. 
Always try to use the jack on level surface. 
Never start the engine when the vehicle is 
raised.
Also observe the notes on the jack.
