WARNING
ARNING Risk of accident due toincor-
re ct wheel and tyre dimensions
The spare wheel can signi/cant lyimpair the
driving characteristics of theve hicle.
To prev ent hazardous situations: #
Adapt your driving style accordingly and
drive carefull y. #
Never /t more than one spare wheel that
di.ers in size tothe wheel being
re placed. #
Only use the spare wheel brie0y. #
Have a spare wheel of a di.erent size
re placed at the nearest quali/ed special-
ist workshop. It is essential that the new
wheel and tyre ha vethe cor rect dimen-
sions and that the cor rect tyre type is
obser ved. R
When using a spare wheel (di.erent from the
wheel tobe replaced), you must not exceed a
to p speed of 80 km/h.
R The tyre pressure of the spare wheel must be
ch ecked before starting a journey and, if nec-
essar y,adjusted (/ page 254).
R Have the spare wheel replaced bya quali/ed
specialist workshop. The
following should be checkedre gular ly, particu-
lar lyprior tolong journe ys:
R the secure positioning of the spare wheel
R the tyre pressure of the spare wheel (adjust
th e tyre pressure if necessary) (/ page 254)
R thefa stenings of the spare wheel holder
The spare wheel is located in a spare wheel holder
under there ar of theve hicle.
Re place the tyres aTer six years at the latest,
re ga rdless of wear. This also applies tothe spare
wheel.
% Ifyo u ha ve/tted a spare wheel, the tyre pres-
sure monitor will not function forth is wheel.
The spare wheel is not equipped with a sensor
fo r monitoring tyre pressure. F F

WARNING
ARNING Risk of an accident due to
va pour poc kets form ing in the brake sys-
tem
The brake 0uid cons tantly absorbs moisture
from the air. This lo wersthe boiling point of the
brake 0uid. If the boiling point is too lo w,
va pour poc kets may form inthe brake system
when the brakes are applied hard.
This impairs the braking e.ect. #
Have the brake 0uid rene we d at the
speci/ed inter vals. *

TE Damage topaint, plastic or rubber
by brake 0uid There is a
risk of damage toproperty if brake

If paint, plastic or rubber comes into con-
ta ct with brake 0uid, rinse with water
immediatel y. Obser
vethe no tes on paintwork/matt /nish paint-
wo rkcare (/ page 231).
Ha ve the brake 0uid rene we dev ery two years at a

ened and can break. The trailer may become
de tach ed from theve hicle.
There is a risk of an accident.
Only retro/t a trailer tow hitch if permissible. Obser
vethe no tes on trailer operation
(/ page 177). Re
tro/tting a trailer hitch is on lypermissible if a
to wing capacity is speci/ed in your vehicle docu-
