Notes on the emergency spare wheel and spare wheel

Spare wheel: wheel and tyre dimensions as well as the type of tyre correspond to the other fitted wheels.

Emergency spare wheel: wheel and/or tyre dimensions as well as the type of tyre are different from the wheel to be replaced. A label with a speed limit can be found on the emergency spare wheel.

A fitted emergency spare wheel or spare wheel changes the driving characteristics and bears risks.

WARNING Risk of accident caused by incorrect wheel and tyre dimensions

When the emergency spare wheel or the spare wheel is fitted, driving characteristics may be severely affected.

There is an increased risk of an accident.

To prevent hazardous situations:

Once the spare tyre or the emergency spare tyre has been fitted, check the tyre pressure and adjust if necessary.
The emergency spare wheel may only be used temporarily and must be replaced with a standard wheel as soon as possible.
Never fit more than one emergency spare wheel.
When operating your vehicle with the emergency spare wheel fitted, adapt your driving style accordingly and drive carefully.
Do not switch off ESP®.
Snow chains must not be fitted onto the emergency spare wheel.
Replace the emergency spare wheel after a maximum of six years, regardless of wear.

  • When using an emergency spare wheel (which is different from the wheel to be replaced) a top speed of 80 km/h must not be exceeded.

  • The tyre pressure of the emergency spare wheel must be checked before starting a journey.

  • Have the emergency spare wheel replaced by a qualified specialist workshop.

The following should be checked regularly, particularly prior to long journeys:

  • the secure positioning of the spare tyre

  • the tyre pressure of the spare wheel (adjust the tyre pressure if necessary) More

  • the fastenings of the spare wheel bracket

The spare wheel is located in a spare wheel bracket under the rear of the vehicle.

Replace the tyres after six years at the latest, regardless of wear. This also applies to the spare wheel.

If you have fitted an emergency spare wheel or spare wheel, the tyre pressure monitor will not function for this wheel. The emergency spare wheel or spare wheel is not equipped with a sensor for monitoring tyre pressure.
