cantly impair driving characteristics of the

vehicle.

To prevent hazardous situations:

Drive carefully.

Never t more than one emergency

spare wheel or spare wheel that diers

in size.

Only use an emergency spare wheel or

spare wheel briey.

Do not deactivate ESP

Have the emergency spare wheel or

spare wheel of a dierent size replaced

at the nearest qualied specialist work-

shop. The new wheel must have the cor-

rect dimensions.

The collapsible spare wheel is an emergency

spare wheel which is only suitable for use for a

limited period of time and in a restricted manner

in the event of a at tyre (e.g. until the nearest

workshop).

The tyre sidewalls are folded when in transport

mode. Before use, the collapsible spare wheel has

to be inated with the accompanying compressor.

Check the tyre pressure of the collapsible spare

wheel once tted. Correct the pressure as neces-

sary.

The maximum permissible speed with a collapsi-

ble spare wheel tted is 80 km/h.

Do not t the collapsible spare wheel with snow

chains.

Replace the collapsible spare wheel aer six years

at the latest, regardless of wear.

Vehicles with a tyre pressure monitoring sys-

tem: if a collapsible spare wheel is tted the

tyre pressure monitoring system cannot func-

tion reliably. For a few minutes aer an emer-

gency spare wheel is tted, the system may

still display the tyre pressure of the removed

wheel. Only restart the system again when the

collapsible spare wheel has been replaced

with a new wheel.

Be sure to also observe the following further rela-

ted subjects:
