InformationWhen using run-flat tires or tire sealants, a tire
does not need to be changed immediately in
the event of pressure loss due to a flat tire.
No emergency wheel is provided with your ve‐
hicle.
The tools for changing wheels are available as
accessories from your dealer’s service center or
another qualified service center or repair shop.

▷Perform wheel change only on a flat, solid
and slip-resistant surface. On soft or slip‐
pery ground, for example, snow, ice, tiles,
etc., the vehicle or vehicle jack can slip
away to the side.▷Do not place wood blocks or similar items
under the vehicle jack; otherwise, it cannot
reach its carrying capacity because of the
restricted height.▷If the vehicle is raised, do not lie under the
vehicle and do not start the engine; other‐
wise, a fatal hazard exists.

higher speeds, e.g., reduced lane stability when
braking, longer braking distance and changed
self-steering properties in the limit area. There
is risk of an accident. Drive moderately and do
