Preparing the vehicle
Park the vehicle in a safe distance from
moving traffic on a hard, flat surface
when possible.
Turn on the hazard warning flashers.
Turn the steering wheel so that the
front wheels are in a straight ahead
position.
Set the parking brake ( page 63).
Move the gear selector lever to
position P.
Turn off the engine ( page 64).
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.
Practical hints
Mounting the spare wheel
Warning!
The dimensions of the spare wheel are dif-
ferent from those of the road wheels. As a
result, the vehicle handling characteristics
change when driving with a mounted spare
wheel. Adapt your driving style accordingly.
The spare wheel is for temporary use only.
When driving with spare wheel mounted, en-
sure proper tire inflation pressure and do
not exceed vehicle speed of 50 mph
(80 km/h).
Drive to the nearest Mercedes-Benz 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 spare
wheel is mounted.
