Only use an emergency spare wheel or
#
spare wheel briefly.
®
Do not deactivate 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 cor-
rect dimensions.
The collapsible spare wheel is an emergency
spare wheel which is only suitable for use for a
limited period of time and in a restricted manner
in the event of a flat tyre (e.g. until the nearest
workshop).
The tyre sidewalls are folded when in transport
mode. Before use, the collapsible spare wheel has
to be inflated with the accompanying compressor.
Check the tyre pressure of the collapsible spare
wheel once fitted. Correct the pressure as neces-
sary.
The maximum permissible speed with a collapsi-
ble spare wheel fitted is 80 km/h.
Do not fit the collapsible spare wheel with snow
chains.
Replace the collapsible spare wheel after six years
at the latest, regardless of wear.
% Vehicles with a tyre pressure monitoring sys-
tem: if a collapsible spare wheel is fitted the
tyre pressure monitoring system cannot func-
tion reliably. For a few minutes after an emer-
gency spare wheel is fitted, the system may
still display the tyre pressure of the removed
wheel. Only restart the system again when the
collapsible spare wheel has been replaced
with a new wheel.
Be sure to also observe the following further rela-

& WARNING Risk of injury or death due to
an unsecured collapsible spare wheel
If the collapsible spare wheel is not secured
correctly, it can slip, tip over or be thrown
around.
This can seriously injure vehicle occupants.
Always store the collapsible spare wheel
#
in the emergency spare wheel bag and
attach it to the bracket in the load com-
partment.
Always ensure that the lashing straps on
#
the emergency spare wheel bag are
safely secured on the rear tie-down eyes
on the load compartment floor.
Depending on the vehicle's equipment, the col-
lapsible spare wheel is located in an emergency
spare wheel bag on a bracket in the load compart-
ment. The collapsible spare wheel in the emer-
gency spare wheel bag and the bracket are lashed
with straps and secured using the rear tie-down
eyes on the load compartment floor.
