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 dimensions are
different to those of the wheel being
replaced.
Only use a spare wheel/emergency spare

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

If you are driving with the emergency
spare wheel fitted, the tyre pressure loss
warning system or the tyre pressure moni-
tor 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 a tyre pressure monitor: for a
few minutes after an emergency spare
wheel is fitted, the system may still display
the tyre pressure of the removed wheel.
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.
