Notes on the emergency spare wheel
& WARNING Risk of accident caused by
incorrect wheel and tyre dimensions
The wheel or tyre size and the tyre type of
the emergency spare wheel or spare wheel
and the wheel to be replaced may differ.
Mounting an emergency spare wheel/spare
wheel may severely impair the driving char‐
acteristics.
To prevent hazardous situations:
Adapt your driving style accordingly and
#
drive carefully.
Never fit more than one emergency
#
spare wheel or spare wheel that differs
in size.
Only use an emergency spare wheel or
#
spare wheel of a different size briefly.

Do not switch off ESP
#
Have the emergency spare wheel or
#
spare wheel of a different size replaced
at the nearest qualified specialist work‐
shop. The new wheel must have the
correct dimensions.
Check the tyre pressure of the emergency spare
wheel fitted. Correct the pressure as necessary.
The maximum permissible speed with an emer‐
gency spare wheel fitted is 80 km/h.
Do not fit the emergency spare wheel with snow
chains.
Replace the emergency spare wheel after six
years at the latest, regardless of wear.
% Vehicles with a tyre pressure monitoring
system: if an emergency spare wheel is fit‐
ted the tyre pressure monitoring system can‐
not function reliably. For a few minutes after
an emergency spare wheel is fitted, the sys‐
tem may still display the tyre pressure of the
removed wheel. Only restart the system
again when the emergency spare wheel has
been replaced with a new wheel.
