Snow chains must not be fitted to emergency
spare wheels.
General notes
You should regularly check the pressure of all
your tyres, including the emergency spare
wheel, particularly prior to long trips, and cor-
rect the pressure as necessary (
Y
page 283).
The applicable value is found on the wheel or
under "Technical data" (
Y
page 299).
An emergency spare wheel may also be fitted
against the direction of rotation. Observe the
time restriction on use as well as the speed
limitation specified on the emergency spare
wheel.
Replace the tyres after six years at the latest,
regardless of wear. This also applies to the
emergency spare wheel.
i
If you are driving with the emergency
spare wheel fitted, the tyre pressure mon-
itor cannot function reliably. Only restart
the tyre pressure monitor when the defec-
tive wheel has been replaced with a new
wheel.
If an emergency spare wheel is fitted, for a
few minutes the system may continue to
show the tyre pressure of the wheel that
has been removed. The value displayed for
the position where the emergency spare
wheel is fitted is not the same as the cur-
rent tyre pressure of the emergency spare
wheel.
