gases can enter the vehicle interior if the
trunk lid is open when the engine is running,
especially if the vehicle is in motion. There is a
risk of poisoning.
Always switch off the engine before opening
the trunk lid. Never drive with the trunk lid
open.
GWARNING
If objects, luggage or loads are not secured or
not secured sufficiently, they could slip, tip
over or be flung around and thereby hit vehicle
occupants. There is a risk of injury, particu-
larly in the event of sudden braking or a sud-
den change in direction.
Always store objects so that they cannot be
flung around. Secure objects, luggage or
loads against slipping or tipping before the
journey.
!The trunk lid swings upwards when opened.Therefore, make sure that there is sufficientclearance above the trunk lid.
The opening dimensions of the trunk lid can befound in the "Vehicle data" section(Ypage 325).

When using an emergency spare wheel or sparewheel of a different size, you must not exceedthe vehicle's maximum design speed of 50 mph(80 km/h).
You should regularly check the pressure of theemergency spare wheel, particularly prior tolong trips, and correct the pressure as neces-sary (Ypage 293). The value on the wheel isvalid.
Snow chains must not be mounted on emer-gency spare wheels.
General notes
You can ask for information regarding permittedemergency spare wheels at an authorizedMercedes-Benz Center.
An emergency spare wheel may also be moun-ted against the direction of rotation. Observethe time restriction on use as well as the speedlimitation specified on the emergency sparewheel.
Replace the tires after six years at the latest,regardless of wear. This also applies to theemergency spare wheel.
Tire pressure loss warning system (Canadaonly):as long as you are driving with the emer-gency spare wheel mounted, the tire pressureloss warning system cannot function reliably.Only restart the tire pressure loss warning sys-tem when the defective wheel has beenreplaced with a new wheel.
Vehicles with tire pressure monitor (USAonly):after an emergency spare wheel has beenmounted, the system may still display the tirepressure of the removed wheel for a fewminutes. The value displayed for the mountedemergency spare wheel is not the same as thecurrent tire pressure of the emergency sparewheel.
