Always replace wheel bolts that are damaged or 
rusted.Never apply oil or grease to wheel bolts.Damaged wheel hub threads should be repaired 
immediately.Incorrect mounting bolts or improperly tightened 
mounting bolts can cause the wheel to come off. 
This could cause an accident. Be sure to use the 
correct mounting bolts.Wa r n i n g !
The spare wheel rim is for temporary use only. Use 
for over a total of 12 000 miles (20 000 km) 
(aggregate of all uses) may cause wheel rim failure 
leading to an accident and possible injuries.The spare wheel should only be used temporarily, 
and replaced with a regular road wheel as quick as 
possible.S 55 AMG and Sport Package:
The dimensions of the spare wheel are different 
from those of the road wheels. As a result, the 
vehicle handling characteristics change when 
driving with a mounted spare wheel.
