Put them on the jack points... Just feel under your car for steel.

There is a point in the front to lift the whole front end.

Might have to drive on some 2x4s to get clearance.

Then put your jacks on the jack points like above said.

check your owners manual. there is a diagram of the jack points. or feel under your car... it's pretty obvious where MB designed the frame to hold weight

good luck

Or just get on your belly and look. You can see the locations clearly near each wheel towards the center of the car.

G'Day from Aus mate.
I can see where the supplied car jack "holes" are, in the sills.....but I have no idea where to place a trolley jack under the car without damaging it.....could you please enlarge somewhat, as to where there underbody points are?
Thanks, Pickles.

The front is in the center of the car on the sub frame. Look at the pic, end of this post:

The rear you can lift from the diff.

heheh loved the 2x4 tip.

I use that on all my cars to get my jacks in.
I even bought a $200 super low profile jack but that still wont work on my old vintage race car.

yay, $5 2x4 to the rescue
