Important safety notes

WARNING

The wheel or tire size as well as the tire type of

the spare wheel or emergency spare wheel

and the wheel to be replaced may differ.

Mounting an emergency spare wheel may

severely impair the driving characteristics.

There is a risk of an accident.

To avoid hazardous situations:

R

adapt your driving style accordingly and

drive carefully.

R

never mount more than one spare wheel or

emergency spare wheel that differs in size.

R

only use a spare wheel or emergency spare

wheel of a different size briefly.

R

do not switch ESP

®

off.

R

have a spare wheel or emergency spare

wheel of a different size replaced at the

nearest qualified specialist workshop.

Observe that the wheel and tire dimensions

as well as the tire type must be correct.

When using an emergency spare wheel or

spare wheel of a different size, you must not

exceed the maximum speed of 50 mph

(80 km/h).

Snow chains must not be mounted on emer-

gency spare wheels.

General notes

You should regularly check the pressure of

the emergency spare wheel, particularly prior

to long trips, and correct the pressure as nec-

essary (Y page 339). The value on the wheel is

valid. In addition, the emergency spare wheel

tire pressure can be found under "Technical

data" (Y page 371).

An emergency spare wheel may also be

mounted against the direction of rotation.

Observe the time restriction on use as well as

the speed limitation specified on the emer-

gency spare wheel.

Replace the tires after six years at the latest,

regardless of wear. This also applies to the

emergency spare wheel.

i

When you are driving with the emergency

spare wheel mounted, the tire pressure

monitor cannot function reliably. Only

restart the tire pressure monitor when the

defective wheel has been replaced with a

new wheel.

If an emergency spare wheel is mounted,

the system may continue to show the tire

pressure of the wheel that has been

removed for a few minutes. The value dis-

played for the mounted emergency spare

wheel is not the same as the current tire

pressure of the emergency spare wheel.
