Emergency Wheels, Using
Note
Inform your customer as necessary of the notes listed in the fol‐
lowing and also refer if necessary to the vehicle owner's manual.
The following notes listed also apply to spare wheels that are
marked with a yellow sticker with the note "MAX 80 km/h" or "MAX
50 mph".
Note
Emergency wheel/spare wheel is designed only for sporadic
♦
and brief use. Therefore it is to be replaced with the normal
wheel again as soon as possible.
After mounting the emergency wheel/spare wheel, tire inflation
♦
pressure must be checked as soon as possible. The correct
tire inflation pressure can be found in the following tire inflation
pressure table on the respective vehicle or the respective
manual: Maintenance.
Always pay attention to speed information on the wheel ("MAX
♦
80 km/h" or "MAX 50 mph").
Wide Open Throttle (WOT) acceleration, strong braking and
♦
rapid driving around curves should be prevented.
Never drive with more than one emergency wheel/spare
♦
wheel.
It is not permissible to use snow chains on the emergency
♦
wheel for technical reasons.
If vehicle must be driven with snow chains, therefore the emer‐
♦
gency wheel must be installed on the rear axle for a breakdown
on the front axle. The rear wheel freed up must then be moun‐
ted in place of the faulty front wheel.
