Important safety notes

tics. There is a risk of accident.
To prevent hazardous situations:
Adapt your driving style accordingly and
R
drive carefully.
Never fit more than one spare wheel/emer-
R
gency spare wheel if the dimesions are dif-
ferent to those of the wheel being replaced.
Only use a spare wheel/emergency spare
R
wheel briefly if the dimesions are different
to those of the wheel being replaced.

Emergency spare wheel
Replace the tyres after six years at the latest,
regardless of wear. This also applies to the
emergency spare wheel.

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