Notes on the emergency spare wheel
&WARNING Risk of accident caused by
incorrect wheel and tire dimensions
The wheel or tire sizes and the tire type of the
emergency spare wheel or spare wheel and
the wheel to be replaced may diMer. The emer-
gency spare wheel or spare wheel can signiN-
cantly impair driving characteristics of the
vehicle.
To prevent hazardous situations:
Drive carefully.Never install more than one emergency
spare wheel or spare wheel that diMers
in size.Only use an emergency spare wheel or spare wheel brieOy.Do not deactivate ESP n
.Have the emergency spare wheel or
spare wheel of a diMerent size replaced
at the nearest qualiNed specialist work-shop. The new wheel must have the cor-
rect dimensions.\bThe emergency spare wheel is secured in the emergency spare wheel bag in the trunk.
Observe the following notes on installing an emer-
gency spare wheel:
= The maximum permissible speed with an
emergency spare wheel installed is 50 mph
(80 km/h).
= Do not install the emergency spare wheel with
snow chains.
= Replace the emergency spare wheel aser six
years at the latest, regardless of wear.
= Use the wheel bolts that are included with the
emergency spare wheel.
= Check the tire pressure of the emergency
spare wheel installed. Correct the pressure as
necessary.
\bThe speciNed tire pressure is stated on the
label of the emergency spare wheel.Wheels and tires343

\bVehicles with a tire pressure loss warning sys-tem: if an emergency spare wheel is installed,
the tire pressure loss warning system cannot function reliably. Only restart the system
again when the emergency spare wheel has been replaced with a new wheel.
Vehicles with a tire pressure monitoring sys-
tem: if an emergency spare wheel is installed,
the tire pressure monitoring system cannot
function reliably. For a few minutes aser an
emergency spare wheel is installed, the sys- tem may still display the tire pressure of the
removed wheel. Only restart the system again when the emergency spare wheel has been
replaced with a new wheel.

q Notes on installing two-way radios
&WARNING Risk of accident due to
improper work on two-way radios
If two-way radios are manipulated or retroNt-
ted incorrectly, the electromagnetic radiation
from the two-way radios can interfere with the vehicle electronics and jeopardize the operat-
ing safety of the vehicle.
You should have all work on electrical
and electronic components carried out
at a qualiNed specialist workshop.&WARNING Risk of accident due to
improper operation of two-way radios
If you use two-way radios in the vehicle
improperly, their electromagnetic radiation
can disrupt the vehicle\bs electronics. This is
the case in the following situations, in particu-
lar:
= The two-way radio is not connected to an
exterior antenna.
= The exterior antenna is installed incor-
rectly or is not a low-reOection antenna.
This could jeopardize the operating safety of
the vehicle.
Have the low-reOection exterior antenna
installed at a qualiNed specialist work-
shop.When operating two-way radios in the
vehicle, always connect them to the low-
reOection exterior antenna.*NOTE Invalidation of the operating permit
due to failure to comply with the instruc-
tions for installation and use
The operating permit may be invalidated if the instructions for installation and use of two-wayradios are not observed.
