Changing a wheel and fitting the spare
wheel
Preparing the vehicle
G Risk of accident
The wheel and tyre size of the emergency
spare wheel/spare wheel may differ to that of
the damaged wheel. When using an emer-
gency spare wheel/spare wheel the handling
characteristics of the vehicle may change.
Adapt your style of driving accordingly.
Never operate the vehicle with more than one
emergency spare wheel/spare wheel that dif-
fers in size.
Only use an emergency spare wheel/spare
wheel of a differing size briefly and do not
®
switch off ESP .
When using an emergency spare wheel you
must not exceed the maximum speed of
80 km/h.
G
Risk of accident
Have the emergency spare wheel/spare
wheel replaced with a new wheel as soon as
possible at a qualified specialist workshop
which has the necessary specialist knowledge
and tools to carry out the work required.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre for this pur-
pose. In particular, work relevant to safety or
on safety-related systems must be carried out
at a qualified specialist workshop.
i
Vehicles without an emergency spare
wheel/spare wheel are not equipped with
a tyre-change tool kit at the factory. For
