Recommended Spare Tires and

Emergency Wheels

If necessary, explain to the customer the information about tires

and refer the customer to the Owner's Manual.
The notes listed in the following also apply to spare wheels, e.g.

6.5 J x 16 with 205/55 R 16 tires, which are marked with the let‐

tering “MAX 80 km/h” or “MAX 50 mph” on a yellow sticker.

Note

♦

The vehicle may have a spare wheel with the above mentioned

sticker in place of an emergency wheel, depending on the ve‐

hicle equipment.

♦

Emergency wheel/spare wheel is designed only for sporadic

and brief use. Therefore it is to be replaced with the normal

wheel again as soon as possible.

♦

After mounting the emergency wheel/spare wheel, tire inflation

pressure must be checked as soon as possible.

♦

The tire pressures are listed on the tire pressure label on the

inside of the fuel filler door and on the B-pillar on the driver

side.

♦

Always observe the speed rating on the spare tire on the

emergency wheel (“MAX 80 km/h” or “MAX 50 mph”).

♦

Wide Open Throttle (WOT) acceleration, strong braking and

rapid driving around curves should be prevented.

♦

Never drive with more than one emergency wheel/spare

wheel.

♦

It is not permissible to use snow chains on the emergency

wheel for technical reasons.

♦

If it is necessary to drive with snow chains, then for a front axle

breakdown the emergency wheel must be installed on the rear

axle. The freed-up rear wheel must then be mounted in place

of the faulty front wheel.

Refer to the Parts Catalog for replacement part number.
