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.

Emergency spare wheelWheels and tires
!
AMG vehicles with "Minispare" emer-
gency spare wheel: use the "Minispare"
emergency spare wheel only on the rear
axle. If you mount the "Minispare" emer-
gency spare wheel on the front axle, this
could result in damage to the brake system.
If a tire on the front axle is defective, an
intact wheel from the rear axle must first be
replaced with the "Minispare" emergency
spare wheel. The defective wheel on the
front axle can then be replaced with the
intact wheel from the rear axle.
Make sure to note the placard on the
"Minispare" emergency spare wheel.
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
Mounting the emergency spare wheel is
described under "Mounting a wheel"
(Y page 424).
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 404). The value on the wheel
or as given in the "Wheels and tires" section is
valid (Y page 443).
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 collapsible
spare wheel mounted, the tire pressure
loss warning system or the tire pressure
monitor cannot function reliably. Only
restart the tire pressure loss warning sys- tem/the tire pressure monitor when the
damaged wheel has been replaced with a
new wheel.
Vehicles with tire pressure monitor:
after mounting an emergency spare wheel,
the system may still display the tire pres-
sure of the removed wheel for a few
minutes. The value displayed for the moun-
ted emergency spare wheel is not the same as the current tire pressure of the emer-
gency spare wheel. Removing the emergency spare wheel
Emergency spare wheel (example: vehicle without
lockable cargo compartment floor)
The "Minispare" emergency spare wheel can
be found in the stowage well under the cargo
compartment floor.
X Lift the cargo compartment floor up
(Y page 344).
X Vehicles with trailer tow hitch: remove
the ball coupling stowage tray
(Y page 258).
X Vehicles without a lockable cargo com-
partment floor: turn emergency spare
