X Turn the jack back to its initial position and
store it together with the rest of the vehicle
tool kit in the cargo compartment.
Vehicles with an emergency spare wheel:
X Wrap the defective wheel in the protective
film included with the emergency spare
wheel and transport the wheel in the cargo
compartment.
or
X Depending on the size of the wheel, you
may also be able to secure the defective
wheel in the emergency spare wheel well.
In this case, you must remove the stowage
tray from the emergency spare wheel well
and store it securely in the cargo

i When you are driving with the collapsible
spare wheel mounted, the tire pressure
loss warning system or the tire pressure
monitoring system cannot function
reliably. Only restart the tire pressure loss
warning system/tire pressure monitoring
system when the defective wheel has been
replaced with a new wheel.
Vehicles with tire pressure monitoring
system: all mounted wheels must be
equipped with functioning sensors and the
defective wheel should no longer be in the
vehicle.
MOExtended tires (tires with run-flat
properties)
MOExtended tires (tires with run-flat
properties) allow you to continue driving your
vehicle even if one or more tires are entirely
deflated.
MOExtended tires may only be used in
conjunction with the activated tire pressure
loss warning system or with the activated tire
pressure monitoring system.
The maximum permissible distance which
can be driven in run-flat mode depends on the
load in the vehicle. You can drive 50 miles
(80 km) if the vehicle is partially laden and
18 miles (30 km) if it is fully laden.
The maximum permissible distance which
can be driven in run-flat mode is counted from
the moment the tire pressure loss warning
appears in the multifunction display.
