Warning!
The dimensions of the Minispare wheel are
different from those of the road wheels. As
a result, the vehicle handling characteristics
change when driving with a Minispare wheel
mounted. Adapt your driving style accord-
ingly.
The Minispare wheel is for temporary use
only. When driving with a Minispare wheel
mounted, ensure proper tire pressure and
do not exceed 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
Minispare 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.
Preparing the vehicle
G
Make sure the vehicle level is set to
highway ( page 279).
Warning!
Your vehicle is equipped with air suspen-
sion. Do not open or close any doors or the
tailgate while mounting a spare wheel. The
vehicle could rise or lower to a previously se-
lected level. You or others could be injured
as a result.
Park the vehicle in a safe distance from
moving traffic on a hard, flat surface
when possible.
Turn on the hazard warning flasher
( page 149).
Turn the steering wheel so that the
front wheels are in a straight-ahead
position.
Set the parking brake ( page 59).
G
Set the automatic transmission to park
position P ( page 191).
Turn off the engine ( page 41).
Have any passenger exit the vehicle at
a safe distance from the roadway.
i
Open door only when conditions are safe to
do so.
Vehicles with SmartKey: Remove the
SmartKey from the starter switch.
Vehicles with KEYLESS-GO*: Open the
driver's door (this puts the starter
switch in position 0, same as with the
SmartKey removed from the starter
switch). The driver's door then can be
closed again.
