Changing a flat tyre in CLK 280
I had a flat rear tyre the other night in my CLK 280, and when I tried to change the tyre in the dark, I couldn't find any instructions on how to use the jack. The car comes with an encyclopedia for instruction manual, with about 6 different booklets, but there was no easy way of looking for simple instructions for changing its tyre! 
Sure, changing a tyre is not difficult, but every jack is different and with a car like this, you want to be 100% sure you're jacking it up at the right point to make sure you don't do any damage. It's not that easy in the dark, going by feel if you haven't done it before on this car.
Anyway, I managed to work it out. I think there should be clear instructions on the tool kit itself.
