You can use the power outlets, except for the
power outlet in the front center console, to
operate the electric air pump even when the
ignition is switched off, e.g. in order to inflate the
collapsible emergency spare tire (

page 485).

An emergency shut-off feature ensures that the
vehicle’s electrical voltage does not fall below a
minimum level. If the voltage drops to this mini-
mum level, the power outlets are automatically
switched off. This ensures that enough power re-
mains to start the engine.

Depending on vehicle production date your

vehicle may be equipped with a scissors-type
jack (located under the cargo compartment
floor). If so equipped, only use this jack when
jacking up the vehicle as otherwise the vehicle’s
underbody can be damaged. See separate
instructions for scissors-type jack.

Warning!

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 in-

jury, use the jack only to lift the vehicle dur-

ing 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.
