In vehicles with tyre pressure monitoring, save tyre pressure values
» page 165 .WARNING■
If, you get a puncture and a spare tyre has to be mounted with opposite
direction of rotation, then drive carefully. The tyre no longer retains its opti-
mal characteristics in this situation.■
If the dimensions or design of the spare wheel differ from the tyres fitted
to the vehicle (e.g. winter tyres or low-profile tyres), it must only be used
briefly in the event of a puncture and if an appropriately cautious style of
driving is adopted.
■
Never use the temporary spare wheel if it is damaged.
Spare wheel
Read and observe
on page 205 first.
A yellow warning label is always displayed on the rim of the temporary spare
wheel.
Please note the following if you intend to use the temporary spare wheel. ▶ The warning label must not be covered after installing the wheel.
▶ Be specially attentive when driving.
▶ The emergency spare is inflated to the maximum inflation pressure for the
vehicle » page 205 .
▶ The tyre inflation pressure of the spare wheel R 18 is 4.2 bar.
▶ Only use this emergency spare wheel to reach the nearest specialist garage,
as it is not intended for permanent use.
If you need to use a spare wheel, make sure to fit a standard wheel of the ap-
propriate dimensions and design as soon as possible.

WARNING■
Never drive with more than one temporary spare wheel mounted!■Only use the temporary spare wheel when absolutely necessary.■
Avoid accelerating at full throttle, sharp braking and fast cornering.
■
The snow chains cannot be used on the temporary spare wheel.
■
If the dimensions or design of the temporary spare wheel differ from the
tyres fitted, never drive faster than 80 km/h (or 50 mph).
WARNING (Continued)■ Never use the emergency spare wheel if it is damaged.■Observe instructions on the warning sign of the emergency wheel.
Tyre label
Read and observe
on page 205 first.
Only fit radial tyres of the same type, size (rolling circumference) and the same
tread pattern on one axle on all 4 wheels.
When fitting new tyres, the tyres must be replaced axle by axle.
Explanation of tyre markings
For example, 195/65 R 15 91 T means:
195Tyre width in mm65Height/width ratio in %RCode letter for the type of tyre – Radial15Diameter of wheel in inches91Load indexTSpeed symbol
The date of manufacture is stated on the tyre wall (possibly on the inside).
For example, DOT ... 10 15... means, for example, that the tyre was manufac-
tured in the 10th week of 2015.
Load index
The load index indicates the maximum permissible load for each individual
tyre.

Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Winter tyres
209
Snow chains
209
Do not use alloy rims with bevelled or polished surfaces during the winter. The
rim surface does not have sufficient corrosion protection and could be perma-
nently damaged (e.g. through grit).
Winter tyres
The handling of your vehicle will be significantly improved when driving on
wintry roads if you fit winter tyres (labelled M+S).
To ensure the best possible handling, winter tyres must be fitted to all four
wheels. The minimum tread depth is 4 mm.
Fit the summer tyres on again in good time as they provide better handling
properties, a shorter braking distance, less tyre noise, and reduced tyre wear
on roads which are free of snow and ice as well as at temperatures above 7 °C.
Speed symbol
Winter tyres (marked with M+S and a peak/snowflake symbol
) of a lower
speed category can be used provided that the permissible maximum speed of
these tyres is not exceeded even if the possible maximum speed of the vehicle
is higher.
On vehicles with the infotainment system with key the speed limit can be
set for winter tyres » Owner´s Manual Infotainment , chapter CAR - Adjust ve-
hicle systems .
For other vehicles, there is the possibility to set the speed limit for winter tyres
at a specialist garage.
Snow chains
When driving on wintry roads, snow chains improve not only traction, but also
the braking performance.
Snow chains must only be mounted on the front wheels.
It is only permissible to fit snow chains with the following wheel/tyre combina-
tions.

CAUTION
The chains must be removed when driving on snow-free roads. They would
otherwise cause loss of performance and damage the tyres.210General Maintenance
