Risk of accident Your vehicle's handling characteristics will
change when a "Minispare" emergency
spare wheel is fitted. Adapt your style of
driving accordingly. The same applies where
a spare wheel is
mounted on the rear axle.
You may only use the "Minispare" emergen-
cy spare wheel or the spare wheel for a short
period on the rear axle, and may drive at a
maximum speed of 80 km /h. Have the
"Minispare" emergency spare
wheel or the spare wheel on the rear axle re-
placed with a new wheel at the nearest qual-
ified specialist workshop, e.g. a Mercedes-
Benz Service Centre.
Never drive the vehicle with more than one
"Minispare" emergency spare wheel fitted. P 40.10-2599-31209en_d2.boo Seite
