Practical advice
Flat tyre
Changing a wheel and
fitting the spare wheel*
Your vehicle is equipped with:
a spare wheel*
or
a Minispare emergency spare wheel*
G
Risk of accident
Your vehicle's handling characteristics will
change when a "Minispare" emergency
spare wheel is fitted. Adapt your style of
driving accordingly. The same applies where
a spare wheel is mounted on the rear axle.
You may only use the "Minispare" emergen-
cy spare wheel or the spare wheel for a short
period on the rear axle, and may drive at a
maximum speed of 80 km/h.
368
Have the "Minispare" emergency spare
wheel or the spare wheel on the rear axle re-
placed with a new wheel at the nearest qual-
ified specialist workshop, e.g. a Mercedes-
Benz Service Centre.
Never drive the vehicle with more than one
"Minispare" emergency spare wheel fitted.
Preparing the vehicle
Prepare the vehicle as described
( page 363).
Turn the spare-wheel bracket anti-
clockwise.
The bracket loosens.
Remove the wheel from the boot.
Engage the steering wheel lock.
Raising the vehicle
Prevent the vehicle from rolling away
using chocks or similar:
On a level road:
place the chocks in front of and be-
hind the wheel diagonally opposite
the wheel to be changed.
On uphill gradients:
place chocks behind both wheels
on the other axle.
Take the vehicle tool kit and the jack
out of the boot ( page 276).
