Changing a wheel

Flat tire

The "Breakdown assistance" section

(Y page 354) contains information and notes

on how to deal with a flat tire. Information on

driving with MOExtended tires in the event of

a flat tire can be found under "MOExtended

tires (tires with run-flat characteristics"

(Y page 354).

Vehicle with emergency spare wheel: in

the event of a flat tire, the emergency spare

wheel is mounted as described under

"Mounting a wheel" (Y page 396).

Rotating the wheels

WARNING

Interchanging the front and rear wheels may

severely impair the driving characteristics if

the wheels or tires have different dimensions.

The wheel brakes or suspension components

may also be damaged. There is a risk of

accident.

Rotate front and rear wheels only if the wheels

and tires are of the same dimensions.

!

On vehicles equipped with a tire pressure

monitor, electronic components are

located in the wheel.

Tire-mounting tools should not be used

near the valve. This could damage the

electronic components.

Only have tires changed at a qualified

specialist workshop.

Always observe the instructions and safety

notes in the "Mounting a wheel" section

(Y page 396).

The wear patterns on the front and rear tires

differ, depending on the operating conditions.

Rotate the wheels before a clear wear pattern

has formed on the tires. Front tires typically

wear more on the shoulders and the rear tires

in the center.

If your vehicle's tire configuration allows, you

can rotate the wheels according to the

intervals in the tire manufacturer's warranty

book in your vehicle documents. If no

warranty book is available, the tires should be

rotated every 3,000 to 6,000 miles (5,000 to

10,000 km), or earlier if tire wear requires. Do

not change the direction of wheel rotation.

Clean the contact surfaces of the wheel and

the brake disc thoroughly every time a wheel

is rotated. Check the tire pressure and, if

necessary, restart the tire pressure loss

warning system or the tire pressure monitor.

Direction of rotation

Tires with a specified direction of rotation

have additional benefits, e.g. if there is a risk

of hydroplaning. You will only gain these

benefits if the correct direction of rotation is

maintained.

An arrow on the sidewall of the tire indicates

its correct direction of rotation.

Storing wheels

Store wheels that are not being used in a cool,

dry and preferably dark place. Protect the

tires from oil, grease, gasoline and diesel.

Cleaning the wheels

WARNING

The water jet from a circular jet nozzle (dirt

blasters) can cause invisible exterior damage

to the tires or chassis components.
