Poddomkrachivanie / hanging out of the car and transportation in case of accident
Poddomkrachivanie using regular jack when changing wheels  | Staff jack is only intended for short-term recovery of the car when replacing wheels before performing any work under the vehicle you need to install it on special props! |
| - Park the car on an equal horizontal platform, whenever possible with a firm covering.
- Securely cock a lay brake.
- Turn the selector AT lever to position "P".
- If necessary, set the warning triangle.
| - Prop chock wheel located on a diagonal from the to be replaced.
|  |
 | When performing the procedure on a slope should enclose shoes under both wheels intact axis by descent. |
| - Prepare the necessary tools (jack, wheel brace) and the spare wheel.
- With proper configuration, remove the protective cap of the disc, and then loosen the bolts of the failed wheel.
| - Prepare to work full-time hydraulic jack Gather three-piece handle and connect it to the drive pump jack assembly. Check the tightening drain plug hole (2) - if necessary, tighten the cover with the tetrahedral key (1) to the end of the handle.
|   | | Full reversing threaded plugs associated with the risk of loss of hydraulic fluid! |
| - Get into the head of the jack under the appropriate platform housing the front or rear axle - track, that a jack positioned vertically, and his heel rested against the ground over its entire surface, - with loose ground sheet under the heel of the right pad (in winter is useful to have in the car piece wide board).
|  | | Remember that regardless of the existence of bias jack must always hold upright position! |
| - Operating handle drive pump, lift the car jack - damaged wheel must be completely off the ground.
- Remove the wheel bolts and make replacement wheel.
- Check inflation pressure mounted spare wheel, if necessary, make appropriate adjustment (see. Specifications).
| The maximum permissible duration of continuous operation of the electric compressor to inflate tires is 8 minutes. |
- Loosen the drain plug screw holes of the jack and fully drown the piston in the cylinder last.
- Fold the removal of the wheels and tools to their regular places.
| - Finally, tighten the wheel nuts evenly in a diagonal manner to the required torque (130 Nm).
|  | | To attach the wheels to be used only original bolts bearing the logo of Mercedes-Benz! |

Hanging car In modern practice, the following four ways to secure hanging off-road vehicles: - On the 2-post lifts with special transitional nozzles;
- On the 2-post lifts with wheel grippers;
- On props using lifting equipment;
- Separate hanging body and the frame (for hanging on straightening bench).
Hanging on a 2-post lifts with special transitional tips | Older transitional nozzles designed for hanging models W460 W463 models are not suitable! |
| Attachments can also be used complete with props for fixing the raised vehicle. |
Complete transition nozzles consists of 4 poles (1) and 4 basic elements (2). Design tips for hanging transitional SUV on 2-post lifts Nozzles are fixed on the feet 2-post lifts, which then slid under the ends of the side rails of the car body.  | The scheme places equipped adapter accessories clutches 2-post lifts at the ends of the side frame body (1 of 2) |
 | The scheme places equipped adapter accessories clutches 2-post lifts at the ends of the side frame body (2 of 2) |
Hanging on a 2-post lifts with wheel grippers Another way of putting up SUV 5-ton 2-post lifts is to use a special wheel grips. | Hooks are intended to be fixed on the wheel disk with an external diameter of not more than 900 mm! |
Hanging on props using lifting equipment The design of backup to secure the SUV in the raised position Driving a car with the help of hanging backups (for example, to replace the bridge) Separate hanging body and frame When working on straightening bench can be used separately scheme hanging the body and chassis of the vehicle. Installation on straightening bench car with removing the bridge carries a risk of loss of balance. In such cases, the body is dismantled from the frame, and both elements are hung separately. The body is hung in a standard way using a 2-rack lift and transition nozzle (cm. Above). When hanging the frame (as with the covers, and with established bridges) leg lift plant near the support brackets trailing arm suspension - in order to avoid the risk of loss of balance frame shall be securely fixed on the legs. Transportation emergency vehicle Transportation platform tow truck Wise to the emergency vehicle to transport it to the tow truck. For loading a damaged vehicle towing the platform can be used regular towing eye (see. Below) - do not forget to switch to the neutral position (?�N?�) AT and transfer case. | To avoid damage to the vehicle chassis fixation on the platform should be made only for wheels and in any case for the suspension elements! |
Emergency Towing vehicle | When towing with a raised front axle, as well as control of the parking brake on a roller test bench engine must be turned off - otherwise due to the inhibitory action of active e protivozanosnoy (ESP) may cause damage to the brake system of the rear axle! |
If towing can not be avoided, it is wiser to make it to all tight coupling (emergency vehicle ignition switch must be turned to position 2). |
Keep in mind that if you disconnect or when the battery is fully discharged unlock the steering is not possible, as well as the elimination of the AT selector lever from the "P"! The order of emergency unlock selector is described in the section Starting up and switching automatic transmission. |
Tow element (cable / rod) should cling only for specific towing eye - in any case not at the bumper or suspension components. When towing a flexible coupling, use only specially designed for this purpose towline. The use of modern synthetic materials made it possible to start production of towline flexible design that minimizes the risk of breakages due to hit the sling under the wheels of the towed vehicle. The front towing eye is located under the left bumper, rear - also under the bumper, the left while moving.  | Location of the front towing eye (1) |
 | Location rear towing eye (2) |
When AT refusal or failure of electrical emergency towing vehicle must be done with the translated position ?�N?� of the selector lever. When the transfer case is damaged before towing you must dismantle the propeller shafts. Towing with a damaged front axle must be carried out with a separation of the wheels from the ground and the last with the rear propeller shaft disconnected. | Self-locking nuts driveshafts subject to replacement without fail! |
If the damage is towing the rear axle is also produced with a margin of wheels off the ground with special places on the truck the front wheels. The driver of the towing vehicle must try to move as evenly as possible, gradually releasing the clutch when shifting gears and particularly when pulling away. Do not forget to turn the key in the ignition of the towed car in position 2, because otherwise there will inevitably lock the steering column. In addition, when the ignition is activated and the direction indicators and brake lights. | Activation direction indicators When the alarm leads to a temporary shutdown of the latter. |
In managing the towed vehicle, make sure that in the course of movement remain permanently taut rope - manipulating the foot brake, try to avoid sudden jerks and arrivals on Loose cable. Remember that when the engine is switched off the braking performance of the car is markedly reduced due to the fact that it ceases to operate the brake servo, it should be to squeeze the brake pedal with a significantly greater effort than usual. When performing maneuvers have to exert more pressure as the steering wheel - steering pump and will not function. Before driving, the drivers of both vehicles (towing and towed) should agree with each other route. The movement should be carried out only with moderate speed, the shortest route and the observance of traffic rules. Avoid sudden braking, acceleration and maneuvering. Remember that when towing a car on the edge of the dirt road is always a danger of demolition by the wayside. Features emergency towing vehicles equipped with AT | When disconnecting, or in the case of fully discharged battery removal AT selector lever from the "P" in the usual soposobom not possible! The order of emergency unlock selector is described in the section Starting up and switching automatic transmission. |
Cars equipped with the AT may be drawn by a forward course on all four wheels at a speed not exceeding 50 km / h and at a distance of not more than 50 km. | Failure to limit the maximum speed and maximum distance towing may damage the transmission. |
Before you start towing, check the transmission fluid level (see chap. Onboard electric equipment), - with insufficient ATF, should make the necessary adjustments, or tow the car with only detached from the ground wheel drive. | Towing a vehicle equipped with the AT over long distances, as well as the failed transmission must be carried out with a separation of the drive wheels off the ground or disconnected from the drive shafts - ideally - on a platform of a tow truck! |
Perform the following setup procedures: - Release the parking brake;
- Start the engine;
- Move the selector lever in position ?�D?�, then - in neutral (?�N?�);
- Switch off the engine;
- Turn the ignition key to position 2 (in any case, do not leave it in the position 0);
- The "Automatic locking of doors while driving" can be switched off.
Towing with a view to starting the engine Starting AT equipped vehicles by towing or pushing is not possible - if necessary, use the auxiliary power supply.
