Wheels
- Incorrect tyre pressures increase tyre wear
and adversely affect vehicle braking and
handling - risk of accident!
(7) CAUTION
Replace any lost valve caps to prevent dam
age to the tyre valves.

(#) For
the sake of the environment
- Under-inflated tyres will increase the fuel
consumption.
- Driving with the tyre pressures adjusted to
the comfort setting* may also result in in
creased fuel consumption.

We recommend always using the tyre pres
sure setting
(T)
for partial loads and the set
ting
(?) for
full loads.
Wheel bolts and rims
Wheel bolts
The wheel bolts should be clean and turn easily.
A special adapter is required to turn the
anti-

theft wheel bolts*
^
page 321.
Rims
Rims with a bolted rim flange* or bolted trim

parts*
consist of several components. A special
technique is applied to bolt these components
together. Never attempt to repair or dismantle
them
o
A-

A,
WARNING
If the wheel bolts have not been tightened or
serviced correctly, they can come loose, and
you could lose control of the vehicLe - risk of
accident! For the correct tightening torque,
refer to
^page
324, After changing a wheel.
- Make sure that the wheel bolts and threads
in the wheel hubs are always clean and free
from grease.
- Only use wheel bolts that are designed to
match the rims on your car.
- Always have damaged rims repaired by a
qualified workshop. Never attempt to repair
or dismantle rims yourself - risk of accident!
Winter tyres
In winter road conditions winter tyres will consid
erably improve the car's handling. Due to their
type of construction (width, rubber compound,
tread pattern), summer tyres give less grip on ice
and snow.

•
Winter tyres must be fitted on all four wheels.

•
Only use winter tyres of the correct type ap
proved for your vehicle.

•
Please note that the maximum permissible
speed for winter tyres may be lower than for
summer tyres
•=> A-
Your specialist retailer can
advise you of the maximum speed
for
your

tyres.

•
After fitting the wheels you must always check
the tyre pressures
^>page
307.
Winter tyres Lose their effectiveness when the
tread is worn down to a depth of 4 mm. The per
formance of winter tyres is also severely impaired
by ageing, even if the tread is still much deeper
than 4 mm.
A WARNING
- Never exceed the maximum approved speed
for your tyres. This causes the tyres to over
heat and can even result in a blow-out - risk
of accident!
- Always adapt your driving style to the pre
vailing road and traffic conditions. Drive
carefully and reduce your speed on icy or
slippery roads. Even winter tyres lose their
grip on black ice.

(^)
For the sake of the environment
Summer tyres should be fitted again as soon
as possible; they give better handling on
roads which are free of snow and ice. They are
quieter, do not wear so quickly and reduce
fuel consumption. •

Mobility
not possible to tighten the bolts to the re
quired torque using the hexagonal socket

risk
of accident!
© CAUTION
When removing/fitting the wheel the rim
may hit and damage the brake disc. For this

reason,
please take care and get
a
second per
son to assist you.

(T) Note

The wheel bolts are easier to remove from the
wheel rim if
you
use the hexagonal socket in
the screwdriver handle. The reversible screw
driver blade should be removed as a precau
tionary measure when the tool is used for this
purpose.
Tyres with directional tread pattern
A directional tread pattern can be identified by
arrows on the sidewall that point in the direction
of rotation. Always note the direction of rotation
indicated when mounting the wheel. This is im
portant so that these tyres can give maximum
grip and avoid excessive noise, tread wear and
aquaplaning.
If
you
ever have a puncture and need to fit the
spare wheel* in the wrong direction, please drive
with extra care because the tyre will not give op
timum performance in this situation. Bear this in
mind particularly when driving on wet roads.
To benefit from the advantages of tyres with this
type of tread pattern, the defective tyre should
be replaced and refitted as soon as possible so
that all tyres again rotate in the correct direction.
After changing a wheel
• Fit the hubcap or wheel bolt caps back on, as

required.

• Put the tools and jack back in the luggage com
partment.
• If the replaced wheel will not fit into the spare
wheel
well,
stow it safely in the luggage com
partment
*page
272.
• Check the tyre pressure of the fitted wheel as
soon as possible.
• On vehicles with tyre pressure loss indicator,
adjust the tyre pressures and store them via the
infotainment system
opage
311.
• The wheel bolts should be tightened to 140

Nm.
Have this checked as soon as possibLe with
a torque wrench. Until
then,
drive with caution.
• Have the flat tyre replaced as quickly as possi

ble.

Spare wheel
General notes
Applies to: vehicles with compact temporary spare wheel

The compact temporary spare wheel
*Fig.
267 is
only intended for temporary use over short dis
tances. Have the damaged wheel checked as soon
as possible by
a
qualified workshop and, if neces
sary, replaced.
PLease note the following restrictions when using
