Emergency spare wheel
General notes
You can ask for information regarding permitted
emergency spare wheels at a Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre.
You should regularly check the pressure of all
your tyres, including the emergency spare
wheel, particularly prior to long trips, and cor-
rect the pressure as necessary (
The value on the wheel is valid.
An emergency spare wheel may also be fitted
against the direction of rotation. Observe the
time restriction on use as well as the speed lim-
itation 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.
i
If you are driving with the emergency spare
wheel fitted, the tyre pressure monitor cannot
function reliably. Only restart the tyre pres-
sure monitor when the defective wheel has
been replaced with a new wheel.
If an emergency spare wheel is fitted, for a few
minutes the system may continue to show the
tyre pressure of the wheel that has been
removed. The value displayed for the position
where the emergency spare wheel is fitted is
not the same as the current tyre pressure of
the emergency spare wheel.
Removing the collapsible emergency
spare wheel
The collapsible emergency spare wheel is
secured in emergency spare wheel bag : in the
luggage compartment.
