Spare wheel

The spare wheel can be classified as
a temporary spare wheel depending
on the size compared to the other
mounted wheels and country
regulations. In this case a permissible
maximum speed applies, even
though no label at the spare wheel
indicates this.
Only mount one temporary spare
wheel. Do not drive faster than
50 mph. Take curves slowly. Do not
use for a long period of time.
Caution
The use of a spare wheel that is
smaller than the other wheels or in
combination with winter tyres
could affect driveability. Have the
defective tyre replaced as soon as
possible.
The spare wheel is located in the load
compartment beneath the floor
covering.
To remove:
1. Open the floor cover 3 60.
2. The temporary spare wheel is
secured with a wing nut. Unscrew
nut and take out the spare wheel.
3. When, after a wheel change, no
wheel is placed in the spare wheel
well, tighten the wing nut and
close floor cover.
4. After wheel change back to full
size wheel, place the temporary
spare wheel in the well and secure
with the wing nut.
Vehicle care
The permissible maximum speed on
the label on the temporary spare
wheel is only valid for the factory-
fitted tyre size.
Fitting the spare wheel
Make the following preparations and
observe the following information:
● Park the vehicle on a level, firm
and non-skid surface. The front
wheels must be in the straight-
ahead position.
● Apply the parking brake and
engage first gear, reverse gear or
P.
● Place a chock under the wheel
diagonally opposite the wheel to
be changed.
● Remove the spare wheel.
● Never change more than one
wheel at once.
● Use the jack only to change
wheels in case of puncture, not
for seasonal winter or summer
tyre change.
● The jack is maintenance-free.
