How to use the compact temporary spare wheel
Should you ever have a punctu
red tyre, the compact temporary
spare wheel is only intended for temporary use until you can reach
a workshop. The standard-size road wheel should be refitted as
soon as possible.
Please note the following restrictions when using the compact
temporary spare wheel. The comp act temporary spare wheel is
designed specifically for this model. For this reason, do not use a
temporary spare from a different type of vehicle.
Snow chains
For technical reasons, snow chains must not be used on the
compact temporary spare wheel.
If you should have a puncture on one of the front wheels when using
snow chains, fit the compact tempor ary spare in place of one of the
rear wheels. You can then attach the snow chains to the wheel taken
from the rear and use this wheel to replace the punctured front
wheel.
WARNING
•
The tyre pressures must be checked and corrected as soon as
possible. The tyre pressure of the compact temporary spare wheel
must be 4.2 bar – an incorrectly inflated tyre can cause an acci-
dent.
•
Do not drive faster than 80 km/h - higher speeds can cause an
accident.
•
Avoid heavy acceleration, hard braking and fast cornering – risk
of accident.
•
Never use two or more compact spare tyres at the same time –
risk of accident.
•
No other type of tyre (normal summer or winter tyres) may be
fitted on the compact temporary spare wheel.
Ty r e r e p a i r sGeneral information and safety notes
Repaired tyres are only suitable for temporary use.Your vehicle is equipped with a tyre repair kit: the Tyre Mobility
System (TMS).
In the event of a puncture you will find the TMS, which consists of a
sealing compound and an electric compressor, located under the
floor panel in the luggage compartment.
The TMS will reliably seal tyres damaged by foreign bodies,
provided that the cuts or punctu res are no larger than approx. 4 mm
in diameter.
It is not necessary to remove the foreign body from the tyre.
The sealing compound must not be used:•
on cuts and punctures larger than 4 mm ⇒fig. 239
•
if the wheel rim has been damaged
•
if you have been driving with ve ry low pressure or a completely
flat tyre .
How to use the TMS is described in the section Repairing a tyre
⇒ page 258 and in the instructions supp lied with the tyre sealant
can.
Fig. 239 The Tyre
Mobility System is NOT
suitable for repairing
this type of damage to
tyres.
