wheels or accessories other than those tes-
ted and approved.
Information on tires, wheels and approved
combinations can be obtained from any
qualified specialist workshop.
Overview of abbreviations used in the follow- ing tire tables:
R BA: both axles
R FA: front axle
R RA: rear axle
The recommended pressures for various
operating conditions can be found:
R on the Tire and Loading Information placard
with the recommended tire pressures on
the B-pillar on the driver's side
R in the tire pressure table on the inside of the
fuel filler flap
Observe the notes on recommended tire
pressures under various operating conditions (Y page 366).
Check tire pressures regularly, and only when the tires are cold. Comply with the mainte-
nance recommendations of the tire manufac-
turer in the vehicle document wallet.
Notes on the vehicle equipment – always
equip the vehicle with:
R tires of the same size on a given axle (left/
right)
R the same type of tires at a given time (sum-
mer tires, winter tires, MOExtended tires)
i Vehicles equipped with MOExtended tires
are not equipped with a TIREFIT kit at the
factory. It is therefore recommended that
you additionally equip your vehicle with a
TIREFIT kit if you mount tires that do not
feature run-flat properties, e.g. winter tires. A TIREFIT kit may be obtained from a quali- fied specialist workshop.
i Not all wheel and tire combinations are
available at the factory for all countries.
i On the following pages, you can find infor-
mation on approved wheel rims and tire
sizes for equipping your vehicle with winter tires. Winter tires are not available at the
factory as standard equipment or optional
extras.
If you would like to equip your vehicle with
approved winter tires, you may also, in cer-
tain circumstances, require rims of the
appropriate size. The size of the approved
winter tires may deviate from that of the
standard tires. This is dependent on the
model and the equipment installed at the
factory.
The tires and wheel rims, as well as further information, can be obtained at a qualified
specialist workshop. 390

Emergency spare wheel
Important safety notes
G
WARNING
The wheel or tire size as well as the tire type of the spare wheel or emergency spare wheel
and the wheel to be replaced may differ.
Mounting an emergency spare wheel may
severely impair the driving characteristics.
There is a risk of an accident.
To avoid hazardous situations:
R adapt your driving style accordingly and
drive carefully.
R never mount more than one spare wheel or
emergency spare wheel that differs in size.
R only use a spare wheel or emergency spare
wheel of a different size briefly.
R do not switch ESP ®
off.
R have a spare wheel or emergency spare
wheel of a different size replaced at the
nearest qualified specialist workshop.
Observe that the wheel and tire dimensions
as well as the tire type must be correct.
When using an emergency spare wheel or
spare wheel of a different size, you must not
exceed the maximum speed of 50 mph
(80 km/h).
Snow chains must not be mounted on emer-
gency spare wheels. General notes
You should regularly check the pressure of
the emergency spare wheel, particularly prior
to long trips, and correct the pressure as nec-
essary (Y page 366). The value on the wheel is
valid. In addition, the emergency spare wheel
tire pressure can be found under "Technical
data" (Y page 407).
An emergency spare wheel may also be
mounted against the direction of rotation.
Observe the time restriction on use as well as
the speed limitation specified on the emer-
gency spare wheel. Replace the tires after six years at the latest,
regardless of wear. This also applies to the
emergency spare wheel.
i When you are driving with the emergency
spare wheel mounted, the tire pressure
monitor cannot function reliably. Only
restart the tire pressure monitor when the
defective wheel has been replaced with a
new wheel.
If an emergency spare wheel is mounted,
the system may continue to show the tire
pressure of the wheel that has been
removed for a few minutes. The value dis-
played for the mounted emergency spare
wheel is not the same as the current tire
pressure of the emergency spare wheel. "Minispare" emergency spare wheel/

Opening the stowage well Sedan:
the emergency spare wheel can be
found in the stowage well under the trunk
floor.
X Lift the trunk floor upwards (Y page 306).
Wagon: the emergency spare wheel is loca-
ted in the stowage well under the cargo com-
partment floor.

X
Mount the collapsible spare wheel as
described (Y page 384).
The collapsible spare wheel must be moun-
ted before it is inflated.
X Pull connector 0085and the hose out of the
housing.
X Remove the cap from the valve on the col-
lapsible spare wheel.
X Screw union nut 0043of the hose onto the
valve.
X Make sure on/off switch 0083of the tire
inflation compressor is set to 0.
X Insert connector 0085into a 12 V socket
(Y page 314) in your vehicle.
X Turn the SmartKey to position 1in the igni-
tion lock (Y page 157).
X Press on/off switch 0083on the tire inflation
compressor to I.
The tire inflation compressor is switched
on. The tire is inflated. The tire pressure is
shown on pressure gauge 0087.
X Inflate the tire to the specified tire pres-
sure.
The specified tire pressure is printed on the
yellow label of the emergency spare wheel.
X When the specified tire pressure has been
reached, press on/off switch 0083on the
electric air pump to 0.
The tire inflation compressor is switched
off.
X Turn the SmartKey to position 0in the igni-
tion lock.
X If the tire pressure is higher than the speci-
fied pressure, press pressure release valve button
0044until the correct tire pressure has
been reached.
X Unscrew air hose union nut 0043from the
valve.
X Screw the cap onto the valve of the col-
lapsible spare wheel again.
X Stow connector 0085and the hose in the
lower section of the tire inflation compres-
sor.
X Stow the tire inflation compressor in the
vehicle. 406
