When using an emergency spare wheel or

spare wheel of a different size, you must not

exceed the maximum speed of 50 mph

(80 km/h).
Snow chains must not be mounted on emer-

gency spare wheels.

General notes

You should regularly check the pressure of

the emergency spare wheel, particularly prior

to long trips, and correct the pressure as nec-

essary (

Y

page 306). The applicable value can

be found on the wheel or under "Technical

data" (

Y

page 329).

i

When you are driving with the emergency

spare wheel mounted, the tire pressure

monitor cannot function reliably. Only

restart the tire pressure monitor when the

defective wheel has been replaced with a

new wheel.
If an emergency spare wheel is mounted,

the system may continue to show the tire

pressure of the wheel that has been

removed for a few minutes. The value dis-

played for the mounted emergency spare

wheel is not the same as the current tire

pressure of the emergency spare wheel.

An emergency spare wheel may also be

mounted against the direction of rotation.

Observe the time restriction on use as well as

the speed limitation specified on the emer-

gency spare wheel.
Replace the tires after six years at the latest,

regardless of wear. This also applies to the

emergency spare wheel.
