— The tyre pressure must be checked as
soon as possible after fitting the spare
wheel or temporary spare wheel

page 339.
Check the tyre pressure of the spare wheel
or temporary spare wheel when you check
the normal tyres, at least once a month.
The spare tyre should be inflated to the
maximum permissible pressure for the ve-
hicle

WARNING
Incorrect use of the spare wheel or tem-
porary spare wheel can lead to a loss of
control of the vehicle, to collisions or oth-
er accidents and cause serious injuries.
·
Do not use the spare wheel or tempora-
ry spare wheel under any circumstan-
ces if it is damaged or worn down to the
tread wear indicators.
·
Some vehicles may be equipped with
a temporary spare wheel instead of
a spare wheel. The temporary spare
wheel can be recognised by a sticker
and the text “80 km/h” or “50 mph”.
This is the maximum speed at which
you are permitted to drive with this tyre.
Cover the sticker during use of the
wheel.
·
Never drive faster than 80 km/h
(50 mph).
·
Never drive further than 200 km
(125 miles) with a temporary spare
wheel if it is
fitted to the drive axle.
·
Do not accelerate quickly, brake sud-
denly or drive at high speed through
bends.
·
Replace the temporary spare wheel
with a normal wheel as soon as possi-
ble. The temporary spare wheel is de-
signed for a short period of use only.
·
Always secure the temporary spare
wheel with the wheel bolts supplied
from the factory.
·
Never drive using more than one spare
wheel that
differs from the normal
tyres.
·
After fitting the temporary spare wheel,
check the tyre pressure as quickly as
possible

page 339.
·
Do not use snow chains on the tempo-
rary spare wheel.
·
Country-dependent: do not fit a tempo-
rary spare wheel to the rear axle when
towing a trailer
→
page 272.
If possible, fit the spare wheel, tempo-
rary spare wheel or removed wheel
securely in the spare wheel bracket under-
neath the vehicle.
With some equipment levels, some
vehicles may be
factory-fitted with
a spare wheel bracket in the luggage com-
partment.
Winter tyres
Please refer to at the start of the
chapter on page 335.
Summer tyres have less grip on icy or
snow-covered roads. Winter or all-season
tyres improve the handling and braking
characteristics in winter road conditions. It
is recommended that winter tyres be fitted
to the vehicle at temperatures below +7°C
(+45°F) or in winter conditions.
Winter and all-season tyres lose their ef-
fectiveness when the tread is worn down to
a depth of 4 mm (5/32 in).
The following applies when using win-
ter tyres:
— Observe any country-specific legal re-
quirements.
— Use winter tyres on all four wheels at the
same time.
— Only use in winter road conditions.
— Only use the sizes of tyre that have been
approved for the vehicle.
— Winter tyres must have the same belt
type, size and the same tread pattern.
— Observe the maximum speed permitted
by the speed index

Speed limitation
Winter tyres have a speed limit depending
on the speed index
