Lifting an SL55 for service... need to turn anything off first?
New owner here of an '04 SL55... loving it so far!

I have a lift in my garage and was wondering if I have to turn anything off related to ABC before lifting the vehicle? I need to have a tire patched and just wanted to make sure before lifting all 4 wheels up off the ground.

There should be no issues. I have never had any problem with mine, or any of the cars that we have tuned.
