General notes
You should regularly check the pressure of
the emergency spare wheel, particularly prior
to long trips, and correct the pressure as nec-
essary ( page 458). The value on the wheel is
Y
valid. In addition, the emergency spare wheel
tyre pressure can be found under "Technical
data" ( page 476).

An emergency spare wheel may also be fitted
against the direction of rotation. Observe the
time restriction on use as well as the speed
limitation specified on the emergency spare
wheel.
Replace the tyres after six years at the latest,
regardless of wear. This also applies to the

emergency spare wheel.

If you are driving with the emergency spare
wheel fitted, the tyre pressure loss warning
system or the tyre pressure monitor cannot
function reliably. Only restart the tyre pres-
sure loss warning system or tyre pressure
monitor when the defective wheel has been
replaced with a new wheel.
Vehicles with tyre pressure monitor: after
fitting an emergency spare wheel, the system
may still display the tyre pressure of the
removed wheel for a few minutes. The value
displayed for the position where the emer-
gency spare wheel is fitted is not the same as
the current tyre pressure of the emergency
spare wheel.
