wheel that has been changed replaced at
the nearest qualified specialist workshop.
You must observe the correc twheel and

When using a spare wheel of a different size,
do not exceed the maximum speed of
80 km/h. General notes
! Check the spare wheel regularly to see
that it is secure and has the prescribed tire
pressure.
The procedure for mounting the spare wheel
is described in "Mounting awheel"
(Y page 303).
The following should be checked regularly,
particularly prior to long journeys:
R the tire pressure of the spare wheel, which
should then be corrected if necessary
(Y page 278).
R the fastenings of the spare wheel bracket.
The spare wheel is located in a spare wheel
bracket under the rear of the vehicle.
Replace the tires after 6years at the latest,
regardless of wear. This also applies to the
spare wheel.
i If you have mounted a spare wheel, the
tire pressure monitor (Y page 281) will not
function for this wheel. The spare wheel is
