Warning! G

The dimensions of the spare wheel

(Minispare wheel or collapsible tire) are dif-

ferent from those of the road wheels. As a

result, the vehicle handling characteristics

change when driving with a spare wheel

mounted. Adapt your driving style accord-

ingly.

The spare wheel is for temporary use only.

When driving with a spare wheel mounted,

ensure proper tire pressure and do not ex-

ceed a vehicle speed of 50 mph (80 km/h).

Drive to the nearest Mercedes-Benz Light

Truck Center as soon as possible to have the

spare wheel replaced with a regular road

wheel.

Never operate the vehicle with more than

one spare wheel mounted.

Do not switch off the ESP

®

when a

Minispare wheel is mounted.

Warning! G

Vehicles with air suspension program*:

Do not open or close any doors or the

tailgate while mounting a spare wheel. The

vehicle could rise or lower to a previously

selected level. You or others could be

injured as a result.

i

Open door only when conditions are safe to

do so.
