3. Check and correct the tire inflation pressure
at the earliest opportunity.
4. Initialize the Flat Tire Monitor, refer to
page 88,
or reset the Tire Pressure Monitor,
refer to page 90.
5. Replace the damaged tire as soon as possi‐
ble and have the new wheel/tire balanced.
Driving with compact wheel Do not exceed a speed of 50 mph/80 km/
h.
Drive

conservatively and do not exceed a speed
of 50 mph/80 km/h. Otherwise, changes in the
driving characteristics could result, for example
reduced track stability on braking, extended
braking distance, and altered self-steering char‐
acteristics in the limit range. In conjunction with
winter tires, these characteristics are more pro‐
nounced.◀
Only mount one compact wheel
Only one compact wheel may be
mounted. Restore the wheels and tires to their
original size as quickly as possible. Failure to do
so is a safety risk.◀
Vehicle battery
Maintenance
The battery is maintenance-free, i.e., the elec‐
trolyte will last for the life of the battery.
Your service center will be glad to advise you on
questions regarding the battery.
Battery replacement
Use approved vehicle batteries
Only use vehicle batteries that have been
approved for your vehicle by the manufacturer;
otherwise, the vehicle could be damaged and
systems or functions may not be fully availa‐
ble.◀ After a battery replacement, have the battery
registered

on the vehicle by your service center
to ensure that all comfort functions are fully
available.
Charging the battery
In the vehicle, only charge the battery via the
terminals in the engine compartment, refer to
page 281, with the engine switched off.
Power failure
After a temporary power loss, some equipment
needs to be reinitialized.
Individual settings need to be reprogrammed:
▷ Seat and mirror memory: store the positions
again, refer to page 53.
▷ Time: update, refer to page 78.
▷ Date: update, refer to page 79.
▷ Radio station: save again, refer to page 174.

▷ Digital compass: recalibrate, refer to
page 129.
▷ Active steering: the system automatically in‐
itializes for a short time as you drive. During
this

time, the system is deactivated, refer to

cling center.
