Preparing the vehicle
WARNING
The wheel and tire size of the emergency spare wheel/spare wheel may differ to that of the damaged wheel. When using an emergency spare wheel/spare wheel the handling characteristics of the vehicle may change.
Adapt your style of driving accordingly. Never operate the vehicle with more than one emergency spare wheel/spare wheel that differs in size.
Only use an emergency spare wheel/spare wheel of a differing size briefly and do not switch off ESP®.
When using an emergency spare wheel, you must not exceed the maximum speed of 50 mph (80 km/h).
WARNING
Have the emergency spare wheel/spare wheel replaced with a new wheel as soon as possible at a qualified specialist workshop which has the necessary specialist knowledge and tools to carry out the work required. Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center for this purpose. In particular, work relevant to safety or on safety-related systems must be carried out at a qualified specialist workshop.
Vehicles without a spare wheel/ emergency spare wheel are not equipped with
a tire-change tool kit at the factory. For more information on which tools are required
to perform a wheel change on your vehicle, e.g. wheel chock, lug wrench or alignment
bolt, consult an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
