Important safety notes
G
WARNING
The wheel/tyre dimensions and the tyre type of the spare wheel/emergency spare wheel
and the wheel to be replaced may differ. Fit-
ting a spare wheel/emergency spare wheel
may severely impair the driving characteris-
tics. There is a risk of accident.
To prevent hazardous situations:
R Adapt your driving style accordingly and
drive carefully.
R Never fit more than one spare wheel/emer-
gency spare wheel if the dimensions are
different to those of the wheel being
replaced.
R Only use a spare wheel/emergency spare
wheel briefly if the dimensions are different to those of the wheel being replaced.
R Do not switch off ESP ®
.
R Have the spare wheel/emergency spare
wheel in question replaced at the nearest
qualified specialist workshop. Make sure
that the wheel/tyre dimensions and tyre
type are correct.
When using an emergency spare wheel or spare wheel of a different size, you must not exceed
the vehicle's maximum design speed of
80 km/h.
You should regularly check the pressure of all
your tyres, including the emergency spare
wheel, particularly prior to long trips, and cor-
rect the pressure as necessary (Y page 337).
The value on the wheel is valid.
Snow chains must not be fitted to emergency
spare wheels. General notes
You can ask for information regarding permitted emergency spare wheels at a Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre.
An emergency spare wheel may also be fitted
against the direction of rotation. Observe the
time restriction on use as well as the speed lim- itation specified on the emergency spare wheel.
Replace the tyres after six years at the latest,
regardless of wear. This also applies to the
emergency spare wheel.
If you are driving with the emergency spare
wheel fitted, the tyre pressure loss warning sys-
tem or the tyre pressure monitor cannot func-
tion reliably. Restart the tyre pressure loss warn- ing system or tyre pressure monitor only once
the defective wheel has been replaced with a
new wheel.
Vehicles with tyre pressure monitor: after an
emergency spare wheel has been fitted, the sys-
tem may still display the tyre pressure of the
removed wheel for a few minutes. The value dis- played for the position where the emergency
spare wheel is fitted is not the same as the cur- rent tyre pressure of the emergency spare
wheel. Removing the emergency spare wheel

ity
Note that the vehicle's gradient-climbing capa-
bility depends on the off-road conditions and the road surface conditions.
All vehicles (except GLA 220 (156.945),
Mercedes-AMG vehicles and vehicles with
4MATIC): maximum gradient climbing ability is
40 %.
Vehicles with 4MATIC: the maximum gradient
climbing ability is 65%.
Missing values for the GLA 220 (156.945) and
Mercedes‑AMG GLA 45 4MATIC models were
unavailable at time of going to print.
Carefully depress the accelerator pedal and
make sure that the wheels do not spin when
driving on steep terrain.
If the load on the front axle is reduced when
pulling away on a steep uphill slope, the front
wheels have a tendency to spin. 4ETS recogni-
ses this and brakes the wheels accordingly. The
rear wheel torque is increased and it is easier to pull away.
