Wheels and tyres
GENERAL INFORMATION
CAUTIONS
Use only approved wheel and tyre
sizes. Using other sizes could
damage the vehicle and will make the
National Type Approval invalid.
If you change the diameter of the
tyres from that fitted at the factory,
the speedometer may not display the
correct speed. Take the vehicle to your
dealer to have the engine management
system reprogrammed.
A decal with tyre pressure data is located
in the driver’s door opening at the
B-pillar.
Check and set the tyre pressure at the
ambient temperature in which you are
intending to drive the vehicle and when
the tyres are cold.
Set the pressure for your spare tyre to
the highest value given for your vehicle
and tyre size combination.
Data about tyres, rims and tyre
pressures for special vehicle model
variants is only given on the tyre pressure
decal on these vehicles.
CHANGING A ROAD WHEEL
Spare wheel
The spare wheel is located underneath
the rear of the vehicle.
Single rear wheel vehicles
Double rear wheel vehicles
If your vehicle has a security bolt, remove
it by turning anti-clockwise.
Fully insert the flat end of the wheel
brace (Bus and Van) or the short arm of
the jack handle (Chassis cab and Flatbed
truck) into the guide hole. Turn anti-
clockwise until the wheel rests on the
ground, and there is slack in the cable.
