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
