16. Continue driving immediately sothat sealant is evenly distributed
in the tyre. After driving approx.
5 km (but no more than ten
minutes), stop and check tyre
pressure. Screw compressor air
hose directly onto tyre valve when
doing this. Fill tyre as described
before. Drain excess tyre
pressure with the button on the air
hose.
If tyre pressure hasn't decreased
under 1.5 bar, set it to the correct
value. Otherwise the vehicle must
not be used. Seek assistance of a workshop. 3 229
Repeat the checking procedure
once more after driving further
10 km (but no more than ten
minutes) to check that there is no
more loss of pressure
If the tyre pressure has fallen
below 1.5 bar, the vehicle must
not be used. Seek the assistance
of a workshop.
17. Stow away tyre repair kit in load compartment.
Note
The driving characteristics of the
repaired tyre are severely affected,
therefore have this tyre replaced.
If unusual noise is heard or the
compressor becomes hot, turn
compressor off for at least
30 minutes.
The built-in safety valve opens at a
pressure of seven bar.
Note the expiry date of the kit. After
this date its sealing capability is no
longer guaranteed. Pay attention to
storage information on sealant
bottle.Replace the used sealant bottle. Dispose of the bottle as prescribed
by applicable laws.
The compressor and sealant can be used from approx. -30 °C.
Wheel changing
Some vehicles are equipped with a tyre repair kit instead of a spare wheel
3 200.
Make the following preparations and
observe the following information:
● Park the vehicle on a level, firm and non-skid surface. The front
wheels must be in the straight-
ahead position.
● Apply the parking brake and engage first gear, reverse gear or
P .
● Remove the spare wheel 3 206.
● Never change more than one wheel at once.

for seasonal winter or summer
tyre change.
● The jack is maintenance-free.

5. Unscrew the wheel bolts. 6. Change the wheel. Spare wheel 3 206.
7. Screw on the wheel bolts.
8. Lower vehicle.
9. Install the wheel wrench ensuring that it locates securely and tighten
each bolt in a crosswise
sequence. Tightening torque is
110 Nm.
10. Align the valve hole in the wheel cover with the tyre valve before
installing.
Install wheel bolt caps.
11. Stow and secure the replaced wheel 3 206, the vehicle tools
3 195 and the adapter for the
locking wheel bolts 3 64.
12. Check the tyre pressure of the installed tyre and the wheel bolttorque as soon as possible.
Have the defective tyre renewed or
repaired as soon as possible.Jacking position for lifting platform

Spare wheel Mounting the temporary spare
wheel
Only mount one temporary spare
wheel. Do not drive faster than
80 km/h. Take curves slowly. Do not
use for a long period of time.Caution
The use of a spare wheel that is smaller than the other wheels or in
combination with winter tyres
could affect driveability. Have the defective tyre replaced as soon as
possible.
The temporary spare wheel has a
steel rim.
The temporary spare wheel is located in the load compartment beneath the
floor covering.
To remove: 1. Open the floor cover.
2. The temporary spare wheel is secured with a wing nut. Turn
wing nut anticlockwise and
remove the wheel.
There is a box with tools in the
right wall of the load
compartment. Vehicle tools 3 195
3. When, after a wheel change, no
wheel is placed in the spare wheel
well, secure the tool box by
turning right back the wing nut and
close the floor cover.
4. After a wheel change back to a full
size wheel, place the spare wheel
outside up in the well and secure
with the wing nut.
If your vehicle gets a flat tyre on the
rear while towing another vehicle,
mount the temporary spare wheel in
the front and the full tyre in the rear.
Tyre chains 3 200.
Stowing a damaged full size
wheel in the load compartment
The spare wheel well is not designed for other tyre sizes than the temporaryspare wheel. A damaged full size
wheel must be stowed in the load
compartment and secured with a
strap. Vehicle tools 3 195. To secure
the wheel:
1. Position the wheel outside up close to one sidewall of the load
