242Vehicle care
Vehicles with spare wheel
The jack with wheel wrench, the tools,
an extension bolt for securing a
damaged wheel and the towing eye
are placed in the tool box below the
spare wheel in the load compartment. Spare wheel 3 253.
Wheels and tyres
Tyre condition, wheel condition
Drive over edges slowly and at right
angles if possible. Driving over sharp
edges can cause tyre and wheel
damage. Do not trap tyres on the kerb when parking.
Regularly check the wheels for
damage. Seek the assistance of a
workshop in the event of damage or
unusual wear.
Winter tyres Winter tyres improve driving safety at
temperatures below 7 °C and should
therefore be fitted on all wheels.
In accordance with country-specific
regulations, affix the speed sticker in
the driver's field of view.
All tyre sizes are permitted as winter
tyres 3 286.
5-door Hatchback, 4-door Saloon,
Sports Tourer
Use tyre size 205/60 R 16 and
235/45 R 18 only as winter tyres.Tyre designations

Speed code letter:
Q=up to 100 mphS=up to 112 mphT=up to 118 mphH=up to 130 mphV=up to 150 mphW=up to 168 mph
Tyre pressure
Check the pressure of cold tyres at
least every 14 days and before any
long journey. Do not forget the spare
wheel. This also applies to vehicles
with tyre pressure monitoring system.
Unscrew the valve cap.

246Vehicle care
For safety reasons, it is
recommended that the tread depth of
the tyres on one axle should not vary
by more than 2 mm.
The legally permissible minimum
tread depth (1.6 mm) has been
reached when the tread has worn
down as far as one of the tread wear
indicators (TWI). Their position is
indicated by markings on the
sidewall.
If there is more wear at the front than
the rear, swap round front wheels and
rear wheels periodically. Ensure that
the direction of rotation of the wheels
remains the same.
Tyres age, even if they are not used.
We recommend tyre replacement
every 6 years.
Changing tyre and wheel
size If tyres of a different size than those
fitted at the factory are used, it may be necessary to reprogramme the
speedometer as well as the nominal
tyre pressure and make other vehicle
modifications.
After converting to a different tyre
size, have the label with tyre
pressures replaced.9 Warning
Use of unsuitable tyres or wheels
may lead to accidents and will
invalidate the vehicle type
approval.
Wheel covers
Wheel covers and tyres that are
factory approved for the respective
vehicle and comply with all of the
relevant wheel and tyre combination requirements must be used.
If the wheel covers and tyres used are
not factory approved, the tyres must
not have a rim protection ridge.
Wheel covers must not impair brake
cooling.9 Warning
Use of unsuitable tyres or wheel
covers could lead to sudden
pressure loss and thereby
accidents.
Wheel caps
Tyres of size 245/35 R20 have a
specific wheel cap. To remove the
cap from the dismantled wheel first
disengage the arms one by one. Then
press the cap in the middle area from
behind and remove it.

Vehicle care247
To assemble first adjust the wheel
cap in order that the positioning leg
fits into the recess.
Tyre chains
Tyre chains are only permitted on the
front wheels.
Always use fine mesh chains that add no more than 10 mm to the tyre tread
and the inboard sides (including chain lock).
9 Warning
Damage may lead to tyre blowout.
5-door Hatchback, 4-door Saloon,
Sports Tourer
Tyre chains are only permitted on
tyres of size 205/60 R 16,
215/60 R 16, 225/55 R 17,
225/45 R 18, 225/50 R 17 and
235/45 R 18.
Country Tourer
Tyre chains are only permitted on
tyres of size 235/45 R 18.
Temporary spare wheel
The use of tyre chains is not permitted on the temporary spare wheel.
Tyre repair kit
Minor damage to the tyre tread can be
repaired with the tyre repair kit.
Do not remove foreign bodies from
the tyres.
Tyre damage exceeding 4 mm or that
is at tyre's side wall cannot be
repaired with the tyre repair kit.
9 Warning
Do not drive faster than 50 mph.
Do not use for a lengthy period.
Steering and handling may be
affected.
If you have a flat tyre:
Apply the parking brake and engage
first gear, reverse gear or P.
The tyre repair kit is in a compartment
under the floor cover in the load
compartment.

254Vehicle care
2.The spare wheel is secured with a
wing nut. Turn wing nut
anticlockwise and remove the
spare wheel.
Under the spare wheel there is the
box with vehicle tools.
3. When, after a wheel change, no wheel is placed in the spare wheelwell, secure the tool box by
turning right back the wing nut and
close the floor cover.
Stowing the replaced full size wheel in the spare wheel well The spare wheel well is not designed
for all permitted tyre sizes. If a wheel
wider than the spare must be stowed
in the spare wheel well, the thread
bolt for mounting the wheel must be
replaced by an extension bolt, located
in the tool box 3 241. To replace the
bolt:
■ Remove tool box from the spare wheel well.
■Install the hexagon key of the wheel
wrench ensuring that it locates
securely on the bolt.
■ Turn the wheel wrench anticlockwise to loosen the bolt.
Remove the bolt.
■ Take the extension bolt from the tool box 3 241 and screw it in hand-
tight using the hexagon key of the
wheel wrench.■ Store the tool box and the damaged
wheel outside up in the spare wheel well and secure it by turning the
wing nut clockwise on the bolt.
The floor cover can be placed on the
projecting wheel.
To fit the spare wheel in the well after
renewing the defective wheel use the
short thread bolt again. Exchange the bolt in the same way.
