& WARNING Risk of accident caused by
incorrect wheel and tire dimensions
Wheel and tire dimensions as well as the type
of tire may vary between the spare wheel and
the wheel to be replaced. When the spare
wheel is installed, driving characteristics may
be severely affected.
To prevent hazardous situations:
#
Adapt your driving style accordingly and
drive carefully.
#
Never install more than one spare wheel
that differs from the wheel to be
replaced.
#
Only use the spare wheel that differs
from the wheel to be replaced for a
short time.
#
Do not switch off ESP
®
.
#
Have the spare wheel of a different size
replaced at the nearest qualified spe‐
cialist workshop. The wheel and tire
must have the correct dimensions and
the tire must be the correct type.
Do not exceed a maximum speed of 50 mph
(80 km/h) if a spare wheel of a different size is
installed.
& WARNING Risk of accident from dam‐
aged spare wheel with Super Single tires
Vehicles with Super Single tires
The tire of the spare wheel exposed to above-
average loads after being installed on the rear
axle. If you exceed the maximum speed or the
maximum distance, or install the spare wheel
again, the tire of the spare wheel may be
damaged. The tire damage may not be visible
and not detectable.
A damaged tire may cause a loss of tire pres‐
sure. This could cause you to lose control of
the vehicle.
#
Only use the spare wheel if it has not
yet been installed on the rear axle with
the current tires.
#
If the spare wheel had been installed on
the rear axle, have the tire of the spare
wheel replaced after changing the
wheel again, irrespective of the dis‐
tance.
#
For safety reasons, when changing a tire
ensure that only the tire valve type
approved for the tires is used.
* NOTE Damage to the transmission
Vehicles with Super Single tires: when you
install the spare wheel on the rear axle, the
transmission may be damaged by the differ‐
ent rotational speeds of the wheels.
#
When the spare wheel is installed on the
rear axle, observe the maximum speed
of 34 mph (55 km/h) and the maximum
driving distance of 62 miles (100 km).
% The spare wheel can be used without restric‐
tions on the front axle of a vehicle with Super
Single tires.
Regularly check that the spare wheel is secured
and has the specified tire pressure ( → page 206).
Regularly check the following, particularly prior to
long trips:
R
the tire pressure of the spare wheel (if neces‐
sary, adjust the tire pressure).
