Before you start

This guide shows how to build the Mercedes GLA45.

Have the instruction booklet and its parts list to hand, and check every part against the list before you begin.

Step-by-step assembly

Unbox and check the parts. Check every part against the parts list in the manual. Protect the vehicle, place it on a flat surface, then remove the tape, elastic band or cable ties holding the motors and wires.
Fit the rear wheels. Fit each rear wheel in this order: wheel, washer, then the nut. Attach the wheel trim or cap by lining up the tabs and clicking it into place, then repeat on the other side.
Fit the front wheels. Fit each front wheel in the same order: wheel, washer, then the nut. Click the wheel trim or cap into place and repeat on the other side.
Attach the steering wheel. Remove the nut and bolt from the steering wheel, then connect the steering wheel wire to the multiplug from the steering console. Thread the wire back through the console, line the wheel up with the steering rod and secure it with the nut and bolt you removed.
Fit the seat. Slide the seat onto the brackets and secure it with the screws.
Windscreen and wing mirrors. Attach the front windscreen to the gaps on the bonnet. Push each wing mirror into place until you hear a click, then repeat on the other side.

Connect and charge the battery

Connect the battery terminal multiplug (red to red, black to black) and check that it powers up. If it does not, make sure the clear plastic tab over the terminal has been removed.

Charge the battery for 8 to 12 hours before the first ride, using the supplied charger. The battery should not be used until that first charge is complete. Recharge after every use and every 30 days if it is stored, and keep it indoors. See our battery charging and maintenance guide.
