Safety notes
Your vehicle may be equipped with a TIREFIT
kit or a spare wheel with collapsible tire.
Vehicles
with a TIREFIT kit do not have a spare
wheel.
For information on your vehicle’s equipment,
see “Rims and tires” (Y page 297).

Warning!
The dimensions of the spare wheel are
different from those of the road wheels. As a
result, the vehicle handling characteristics
change when driving with a spare wheel
mounted. Adapt your driving style
accordingly.
The spare wheel is for temporary use only.
When driving with a spare wheel mounted,
ensure proper tire inflation pressure and do
not exceed a vehicle speed of 50 mph
(80 km/h).
Contact the nearest authorized Mercedes-
Benz Center as soon as possible to have the
spare wheel replaced with a regular road
wheel.
Never
operate the vehicle with more than one
spare wheel mounted.
Do not switch off the ESP
®
when a spare
wheel is mounted.
