WARNING Risk of accident caused by
incorrect wheel and tyre dimensions
The wheel or tyre size and the tyre type of
the emergency spare wheel or spare wheel
and the wheel to be replaced may differ.
Mounting an emergency spare wheel/spare
wheel may severely impair the driving char‐
acteristics.
To prevent hazardous situations:
#
Adapt your driving style accordingly and
drive carefully.
#
Never fit more than one emergency
spare wheel or spare wheel that differs
in size.
#
Only use an emergency spare wheel or
spare wheel of a different size briefly.
#
Do not switch off 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
correct dimensions.
The collapsible spare wheel is only available in
certain countries.
The collapsible spare wheel is an emergency
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 work‐
shop).
The tyre sidewalls are folded when in transport
mode. Before use, the collapsible spare wheel
has to be inflated with the accompanying com‐
pressor.
Check the tyre pressure of the collapsible spare
wheel once fitted. Correct the pressure as nec‐
essary.
The maximum permissible speed with a collapsi‐
ble spare wheel fitted is 80 km/h.
Do not fit snow chains with the collapsible spare
wheel.
Replace the collapsible spare wheel after six
years at the latest, regardless of wear.

Vehicles with a tyre pressure monitoring
system: if a collapsible spare wheel is fitted
the tyre pressure monitoring system cannot
function reliably. Only restart the system
again when the collapsible spare wheel has
been replaced with a new wheel.
Vehicles with a tyre pressure monitoring
system: for a few minutes after a collapsible
spare wheel is fitted, the system may still
display the tyre pressure of the removed
wheel.
