Inter changing the front and rear wheels can
se verely impair the driving characteristics.
The disk brakes or wheel suspension compo‐

Only inter change the front and rear
wheels if the wheels and tyres ha vethe
same dimensions. Inter
changing the front and rear wheels if the

re nder thege neral ope rating pe rmit in valid.
On vehicles with the same front and rear wheel
size, you can inter change the wheels every 5,000
to 10,000 km depending on thewe ar. Ensure the
direction of rotation is maintained forth e wheels.
It is imperative toobser vethe instructions and
saf ety no tes on "Changing a wheel" when doing
so. Size categories of wheels

Driving with th e spare wheel fitted can
se verely impair theve hicle's driving charac‐
te rist ics.
To avo idrisks, obser vethefo llowing points: #
Drive carefully #
Neverfit more than one spare wheel
which is dif fere nt from the wheel tobe
re placed. #
Only use the spare wheel for a short
period of time. #
Change a spare wheel which is of a dif‐
fere nt size at the nearest qualified spe‐
cialist workshop. Be sure topay atten‐
tion tothe cor rect wheel and tyre
dimensions as well as the tyre type. R
When using a spare wheel (which is dif fere nt
from the wheel tobe replaced) a top speed of
80 km/h must not be exceeded.
R The tyre pressure of the spare wheel must be
ch ecked before starting a journey
(/ page 251).
R Have the emer gency spa rewheel replaced by
a qu alified specialist workshop.
The following should be checkedre gular ly, partic‐
ularly prior tolong journe ys:
R the secure positioning of the spare tyre
R the tyre pressure of the spare wheel (adjust
th e tyre pressure if necessary) (/ page 251)
R thefast enings of the spare wheel brac ket
The spare wheel is located in a spare wheel
brac ket under there ar of theve hicle.
Re place the tyres af ter six years at the latest,

we akened and can break. The trailer may
become de tach ed from theve hicle.
There is a risk of an accident.
Only retrofit a trailer tow hit chif permissible. Obser
vethe no tes on trailer operation
(/ page 176).
Re trofitting a trailer hitch is only pe rmissible if a

Fastening points
2 Distance from road sur face
The dis tance between the trailer hitch and the
ro ad sur face on an unladen vehicle depends on

Thus, it cannot be specified. The dis tance tothe
ro ad sur face of a laden vehicle is between 350
mm and 420 mm. Tr

towing a trailer, the permissible gross vehi‐
cle weight is inc reased by100kg forve hicles
with passenger vehicle appr oval. The maximum
permissible rear axle load may be exceeded by
15 0kg when towing a trailer.
The road speed of theve hicle must be limited to
a maximum of 100 km/h in accordance with
Directive 92/21/EEC.
The permissible weights and loads which must
not be exceeded can also be obtained from the
fo llowing sources of information:
