Emergency spare wheel
Important safety notes
G
WARNING
The wheel/tyre dimensions and the tyre type of the spare wheel/emergency spare wheel
and the wheel to be replaced may differ. Fit-
ting a spare wheel/emergency spare wheel
may severely impair the driving characteris-
tics. There is a risk of accident.
To prevent hazardous situations:
R Adapt your driving style accordingly and
drive carefully.
R Never fit more than one spare wheel/emer-
gency spare wheel if the dimensions are
different to those of the wheel being
replaced.
R Only use a spare wheel/emergency spare
wheel briefly if the dimensions are different
to those of the wheel being replaced.
R Do not switch off ESP ®
.
R Have the spare wheel/emergency spare
wheel in question replaced at the nearest
qualified specialist workshop. Make sure
that the wheel/tyre dimensions and tyre
type are correct.
When using an emergency spare wheel or
spare wheel of a different size, you must not
exceed the maximum speed of 80 km/h.
Snow chains must not be fitted to emergency
spare wheels. General notes
You should regularly check the pressure of all your tyres, including the emergency spare
wheel, particularly prior to long trips, and cor-
rect the pressure as necessary (Y page 436).
The value on the wheel is valid. In addition, the
emergency spare wheel tyre pressure can be
found under "Technical data" (Y page 465).
An emergency spare wheel may also be fitted
against the direction of rotation. Observe the time restriction on use as well as the speed limitation specified on the emergency spare
wheel.
Replace the tyres after six years at the latest,
regardless of wear. This also applies to the
emergency spare wheel.
If you are driving with the collapsible emer-
gency spare wheel fitted, the tyre pressure
loss warning system or the tyre pressure
monitor cannot function reliably. Only restart the tyre pressure loss warning system/tyre
pressure monitor when the defective wheel
has been replaced with a new wheel.
Vehicles with tyre pressure monitor: after
mounting an emergency spare wheel, the sys- tem may still display the tyre pressure of the
removed wheel for a few minutes. The value
displayed for the mounted emergency spare
wheel is not the same as the current tyre
pressure of the emergency spare wheel.
If you are driving with the emergency spare
wheel fitted, the tyre pressure loss warning
system cannot function reliably. Only restart
the tyre pressure loss warning system when
the defective wheel has been replaced with a
new wheel. Removing the emergency spare wheel
The emergency spare wheel is secured in the
emergency spare wheel bag in the luggage
compartment.
X Open the luggage compartment.
X Detach the fastening straps.
X Unhook retaining spring hooks of fastening
straps from the retainers.
X Remove the emergency spare wheel bag
with the emergency spare wheel.
X Open the bag and remove the emergency
spare wheel.
Observe the instructions and safety notes in
the "Fitting a wheel" section (Y page 442). Emergency spare wheel

the yellow label of the emergency spare
wheel.
X When the specified tyre pressure has been
reached, press on/off switch Aon the
electric air pump to 0.
The tyre inflation compressor is switched
off.
X Turn the key to position 0in the ignition
lock.
X If the tyre pressure is higher than the speci-
fied pressure, press pressure release valve
button ;until the correct tyre pressure
has been reached.
X Unscrew union nut :on the air hose from
the valve.
