The dimensions of the spare wheel are different
from those of the road wheels. As a result, the

and replaced with a regular road wheel as quick as
possible.

Tire inflation pressure

A table (see fuel filler flap) lists the tire inflation
pressures specified for Mercedes-Benz recommended
tires as well as for the varying operating conditions.
Important!
Tire pressure changes by approx. 1.5 psi (0.1 bar) per
18 ° F (10 ° C) of air temperature change. Keep this in
mind when checking tire pressure inside a garage –
especially in the winter.
Example:
If garage temperature = approx. +68 ° F (+20 ° C) and
ambient temperature = approx. +32 ° F (0 ° C) then the
adjusted air pressure = specified air pressure +3 psi
(+0.2 bar).
