Emergency wheel
Principle
In the event of a flat tire, the emergency wheel
can be used in place of the wheel with the
faulty tire. The emergency wheel is only in-
tended for temporary use until the faulty tire/
wheel has been replaced.
General information
Mount one emergency wheel only.
Also check the tire inflation pressure of the
emergency wheel in the cargo area regularly,
and correct it as needed.
Safety information
Warning
The emergency wheel has particular dimen-
sions. When driving with an emergency
wheel, changed driving properties may oc-
cur, for instance reduced directional stabil-
ity when braking, longer braking distance,
and changed self-steering properties in the
limit range. There is a risk of accident. Drive
moderately and do not exceed a speed of
50 mph/80 km/h.
