the maximum speed of 80 km/h.

General notes
You can ask for information regarding permitted
emergency spare wheels at a Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre.
You should regularly check the pressure of all
your tyres, including the emergency spare
wheel, particularly prior to long trips, and cor-
rect the pressure as necessary (
The value on the wheel is valid.
An emergency spare wheel may also be fitted
against the direction of rotation. Observe the
time restriction on use as well as the speed lim-
itation specified on the emergency spare wheel.
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 sys-
tem or the tyre pressure monitor cannot func-
tion reliably. Restart the tyre pressure loss warn-
ing system or tyre pressure monitor only once
the defective wheel has been replaced with a
new wheel.
Vehicles with tyre pressure monitor: after an
emergency spare wheel has been fitted, the sys-
tem may still display the tyre pressure of the
removed wheel for a few minutes. The value dis-
played for the position where the emergency
spare wheel is fitted is not the same as the cur-
rent tyre pressure of the emergency spare
wheel.
