210Vehicle careTyres age, even if they are not used.
We recommend tyre replacement
every 6 years.
Changing tyre and wheel size
If tyres of a different size than those
fitted at the factory are used, it may be necessary to reprogramme the tyre
deflation detection system and make
other vehicle modifications.
Tyre deflation detection system
3 208.
Have the label with tyre pressures
replaced.9 Warning
The use of unsuitable tyres or
wheels may lead to accidents and will invalidate the vehicle
operating permit.
Wheel covers
Wheel covers and tyres that are
factory approved for the respective
vehicle and comply with all of the
relevant wheel and tyre combination
requirements must be used.
If the wheel covers and tyres used are
not factory approved, the tyres must
not have a rim protection ridge.
Wheel covers must not impair brake
cooling.9 Warning
Use of unsuitable tyres or wheel
covers could lead to sudden
pressure loss and thereby
accidents.
Vehicles with steel wheels: When
using locking wheel nuts, do not
attach wheel covers.
Tyre chains
Tyre chains are only permitted on the
front wheels.
Always use fine mesh chains that add no more than 10 mm to the tyre tread
and the inboard sides (including chain lock).
9 Warning
Damage may lead to tyre blowout.
Tyre chains are only permitted on
tyres of size 195/65 R15 91 and
195/60 R16 89

Vehicle care217alloy wheels are used. In this
case, the washers do not come
into contact with the spare wheel.
1. Disengage wheel bolt caps with a
screwdriver and remove.
Steel wheels with cover: Pull off
the wheel cover.
Alloy wheels: Disengage wheel
bolt caps with a screwdriver and
remove. To protect the wheel,
place a soft cloth between the
screwdriver and the alloy wheel.
2. Fold out the wheel wrench and install ensuring that it locates
securely and loosen each wheel
bolt by half a turn.
The wheels might be protected by
locking wheel bolts. To loosen
these specific bolts, first attach
the adapter for the locking wheel
bolts onto the head of the bolt
before installing the wheel
wrench. The adapter is located in
the load compartment under the
rear floor cover.
3. Ensure the jack is correctly positioned under the relevant
vehicle jacking point.
4. Set the jack to the necessary height. Position it directly below
the jacking point in a manner that
prevents it from slipping.
Page 220 of 261

218Vehicle careEnsure that the edge of the body
fits into the notch of the jack.
Attach wheel wrench and with the
jack correctly aligned rotate wheel wrench until wheel is clear of the
ground.
5. Unscrew the wheel nuts. 6. Change the wheel.
7. Screw on the wheel nuts.
8. Lower the vehicle and remove jack.
9. Install the wheel wrench ensuring that it is located securely and
tighten each bolt in a crosswise
sequence. Tightening torque is
100 Nm.
If the vehicle is equipped with
alloy wheels, note that the wheel
bolts can also be used for the steel spare wheel. In this case, the
spare wheel is secured by the
conical contact of each bolt.
10. Align the valve hole in the wheel cover with the tyre valve before
installing.
Install wheel nut caps.
11. Stow and secure the replaced wheel, the vehicle tools 3 206 and
the adapter for the locking wheel
nuts.
12. Check the tyre pressure of the installed tyre and the wheel nut
torque as soon as possible.
Stowing a damaged full size
wheel in the load compartment
The spare wheel well is not designed
for other tyre sizes than the temporary spare wheel. A damaged full size
wheel must be stowed in the load
compartment and secured with a
strap.
Vehicle tools 3 206.To secure the wheel:
1. Position the wheel outside up close to one sidewall of the load
compartment.
2. Place the loop end of the strap through the front lashing eye on
the appropriate side.
3. Place the hook end of the strap through the loop and pull it until
the strap is fastened securely to
the lashing eye.

Screw in the towing eye as far as it will
go until it stops in a horizontal
position.
Attach a tow rope – or better still a tow
rod – to the towing eye.
The towing eye must only be used for towing and not for recovering the
vehicle.
Switch on ignition to release steering
wheel lock and to permit operation of
brake lights, horn and windscreen
wiper.
Caution
Deactivate the driver assistance
systems like active emergency
braking 3 156, otherwise the
vehicle may automatically brake during towing.
Switch the selector lever to neutral.
Release the parking brake.
Caution
Drive slowly. Do not drive jerkily.
Excessive tractive force can
damage the vehicle.
When the engine is not running,
considerably more force is needed to
brake and steer.
To prevent the entry of exhaust gases from the towing vehicle, switch on the
air recirculation and close the
windows.
Vehicles with automatic transmission: The vehicle must be towed facing
forwards, not faster than 50 mph nor further than 60 miles. In all other
cases and when the transmission is
defective, the front axle must be
raised off the ground.
Seek the assistance of a workshop. After towing, unscrew the towing eye.
Insert cap with the outer flange into
the recess and fix cap by pushing.
Towing another vehicle
Wrap a cloth around the tip of a flat
screwdriver to prevent paint damage.
Insert a screwdriver in the slot at the
bottom of the cap. Release the cap by carefully moving the screwdriver
downwards.
