Warning!
Always replace wheel bolts that are damaged or
rusted.
Never apply oil or grease to wheel bolts.
Damaged wheel hub threads should be repaired
immediately.
Incorrect mounting bolts or improperly tightened
mounting bolts can cause the wheel to come off.
This could cause an accident. Be sure to use the
correct mounting bolts.
Warning!
The spare wheel rim is for temporary use only. Use
for over a total of 12 000 miles (20 000 km)
(aggregate of all uses) may cause wheel rim failure
leading to an accident and possible injuries.
The spare wheel should only be used temporarily,
and replaced with a regular road wheel as quick as
possible.
CL 55 AMG and Sport Package:
The dimensions of the spare wheel are different
from those of the road wheels. As a result, the
vehicle handling characteristics change when
driving with a mounted spare wheel.
