Practical hints
Flat tire
When you replace the vehicle's tires, you
can use the spare wheel as a regular wheel
if:
it is not more than 6 years old
rim and tire are the same model as the
regular wheels
Warning!
If the spare tire is more than 6 years old or
is not the same model as the regular tires,
have the spare tire replaced with a new tire
at the nearest Mercedes-Benz Light Truck
Center.
Never operate the vehicle with more than
one spare wheel mounted.
