On the Mercedes CLS, the wheel replacement is carried out with the vehicle stationary in a safe area. The emergency lights are activated, and wheel chocks are placed on the side opposite to the wheel being changed; the bolts are slightly loosened while the vehicle is on the ground.

Then, the jack is positioned at the lifting point shown, and the car is raised just enough to free the wheel. The damaged wheel is removed, the hub is cleaned, and the spare wheel/temporary wheel is presented, aligning the centering hole.

The bolts are hand-tightened, and the vehicle is lowered until it rests on the ground. At this point, the bolts are tightened in a crisscross sequence until they are firmly secured, without specifying torque values not shown in the video.

The removed wheel is stored, the emergency devices are deactivated, and a short drive is taken to check for any vibrations; at the end of the procedure, the tightening is checked again.
