Changing
wheels/tires
General
information
When using run-flat tires or a flat tire kit, a
wheel does not always need to be changed imj mediately when there is a loss of tire inflation
pressure due to a flat tire.
If needed, the tools for changing wheels are
available as accessories from a dealerss service
center or another qualified service center or rej pair shop.
Safety
information DANGER

as well.4.Hand-tighten the remaining lug bolts and tighten all lug bolts well in a crosswise patj
tern.5.Turn the vehicle jack crank counterclockj
wise to retract the vehicle jack and lower
the vehicle.6.Remove the vehicle jack and stow it sej
curely.
After
the
wheel
change
1.Tighten the lug bolts crosswise. The tightj ening torque is 101 lb ft/140 Nm.2.Stow the nonworking wheel in the cargo
area, if necessary.
The nonworking wheel cannot be stored under the cargo floor panel because of its
size.3.Check tire inflation pressure at the next opj
portunity and correct as needed.4.Reinitialize the run-flat tires.
Reset the Tire Pressure Monitor TPM.5.Check to make sure the lug bolts are tight
with a calibrated torque wrench.6.Have the damaged tire replaced at the
nearest dealerss service center or another

can be used in place of the wheel with the dej
fective tire. The emergency wheel is only inj tended for temporary use until the defective
tire/wheel has been replaced.
General
information
Mount one emergency wheel only.
Also check the tire inflation pressure of the
emergency wheel in the cargo area regularly,
and correct it as needed.

Safety
informationWARNING
The emergency wheel has particular dij
mensions. When driving with an emergency wheel, changed driving properties may occur,
for instance reduced lane stability when brakj
ing, longer braking distance, and changed self-
steering properties in the limit area. There is a
risk of an accident. Drive moderately and do
not exceed a speed of 50 mph/80 km/h.'

General
information
The engine oil consumption is dependent on
your driving style and driving conditions.
Therefore, regularly check the engine oil level
after refueling by taking a detailed measurej
ment.
The engine oil consumption can increase in
the following situations, for example:'ySporty driving style.'yBreak-in of the engine.'yIdling of the engine.'yWith use of engine oil types that are classij
fied as not suitable.
Different Check Control messages appear on the Control Display depending on the engine
oil level.
Safety
information NOTE
An engine oil level that is too low causes
engine damage. There is a risk of damage to
property. Immediately add engine oil.'

System
limits
When making frequent short-distance trips or using a dynamic driving style, it may not be
possible to calculate a measured value. In this case, the measured value for the last, suffijciently long trip is displayed.
Detailed
measurement
Concept
The engine oil level is checked when the vehij cle is stationary and displayed via a scale.
If the engine oil level is outside its permissible
operating range, a Check Control message is
displayed.
General
information During the measurement, the idle speed is inj
creased somewhat.
