Spare wheel
Important safety notes
G
WARNING
Wheel and tire dimensions as well as the type
of tire can vary between the spare wheel and
the wheel to be replaced. When the spare
wheel is mounted, driving characteristics may
be severely affected. There is a risk of an acci-
dent.
In order to reduce risks:
R
you should therefore adapt your driving
style and drive carefully.
R
never mount more than one spare wheel
that differs from the wheel to be replaced.
R
only use a spare wheel that differs from the
wheel to be replaced for a short time.
R
do not deactivate ESP
®
.
R
have a spare wheel that differs from the
wheel that has been changed replaced at
the nearest qualified specialist workshop.
You must observe the correct wheel and
tire dimensions as well as the wheel type.
When using a spare wheel of a different size, do
not exceed the maximum permissible speed of
50 mph (80 km/h).
General notes
The procedure for mounting the spare wheel is
described in "Mounting a wheel" (
Y
page 288).
The following should be checked regularly, par-
ticularly prior to long journeys:
R
the tire pressure of the spare wheel, which
should then be corrected if necessary
(
Y
page 271).
R
the fastenings of the spare wheel bracket.
The spare wheel is located either in the left rear
compartment or in a spare wheel bracket under
the vehicle.
Replace the tires after 6 years at the latest,
regardless of wear. This also applies to the spare
wheel.
Vehicles with tire pressure monitor: the
spare wheel is not equipped with a sensor for
monitoring tire pressure. If you have installed a
spare wheel, the tire pressure monitor will not
function for this wheel. The system may con-
tinue to show the tire pressure of the wheel that
has been removed for a few minutes. The value
displayed for the position where the spare wheel
is installed is not the same as the current tire
pressure of the spare wheel.
When you are driving with the spare wheel
mounted, the tire pressure monitor cannot func-
tion reliably. Only restart the tire pressure mon-
itor when the defective wheel has been replaced
with a new wheel and sensor.
More Information can be found under "Tire pres-
sure monitor" (
Y
page 275).
