G Warning!
The wheel and tire size of the emergency

emergency spare wheel/spare wheel the
handling characteristics of the vehicle may
change.

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 a maximum speed of 50 mph

G 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.
i Vehicles without an emergency spare
wheel/spare wheel are not equipped with
