WARNING Risk of accident caused by
incorrect wheel and tire dimensions
The wheel or tire size and the tire type of the
emergency spare wheel or spare wheel and
the wheel to be replaced may differ. Mount‐
ing an emergency spare wheel/spare wheel
may severely impair the driving characteris‐
tics.
To prevent hazardous situations:
#
Adapt your driving style accordingly and
drive carefully.
#
Never mount 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 an emergency
spare wheel which is only suitable for use for a
limited period of time and in a restricted manner
in the event of a flat tire (e.g. until the nearest
workshop).
The tire sidewalls are folded when in transport
mode. Before use, the collapsible spare wheel
has to be inflated with the accompanying com‐
pressor.
Check the tire pressure of the collapsible spare
wheel once installed. Correct the pressure as
necessary.
The maximum permissible speed with a collapsi‐
ble spare wheel installed is 50 mph (80 km/h).
Do not install snow chains on the collapsible
spare wheel.
Replace the collapsible spare wheel after six
years at the latest, regardless of wear.
%
Vehicles with a tire pressure monitoring
system: If a collapsible spare wheel is instal‐
led the tire pressure monitoring system can‐
not function reliably. For a few minutes after
an emergency spare wheel is installed, the
system may still display the tire pressure of
the removed wheel. Only restart the system
again when the collapsible spare wheel has
been replaced with a new wheel.
