Mercedes-Benz C-Class (W205) 2015 - 2021 Owners Manual: Raising the vehicle when changing a wheel

Requirements:

• There are no persons in the vehicle.
• The vehicle has been prepared for a wheel change.
• The hub caps have been removed.

Important notes on using the jack:

• Use only the vehicle-specific jack that has been tested and approved by Mercedes-Benz to raise the vehicle.
• The jack is only designed for raising and holding the vehicle for a short time while a wheel is being changed and not for maintenance work under the vehicle.
• The jack must be placed on a firm, flat and non-slip surface. If necessary, use a large, flat, load-bearing, non-slip underlay.
• The foot of the jack must be positioned vertically under the jack support point.

Rules of conduct when the vehicle is raised:

• Never place your hands or feet under the vehicle.
• Never lie under the vehicle.
• Do not start the engine and do not release the electric parking brake.
• Do not open or close any doors or the trunk lid.

• Using the lug wrench, loosen the wheel bolts on the wheel you wish to change by about one full turn. Do not unscrew the bolts completely.

Position of jack support points

Mercedes-AMG vehicles: observe the notes in the Supplement. Otherwise, you may fail to recognize dangers.

• Position jack 2 at jack support point 1.
• Turn crank 3 clockwise until jack 2 sits completely on jack support point 1 and the base of the jack lies evenly on the ground.
• Turn crank 3 until the tire is raised a maximum of 1.2 in (3 cm) from the ground.
• Loosen and remove the wheel.
