Practical hints
Where will I find...?
In case of a flat tire, you may temporarily
use the Minispare wheel when observing
the following restrictions:
ț Do not exceed a vehicle speed of
50 mph (80 km/h).
ț Drive to the nearest tire repair facility
to have the flat tire repaired or
replaced as appropriate.
ț Do not operate vehicle with more than
one Minispare wheel mounted.
For more information, see “Rims and tires”
(
୴ page 482).
Spare wheel bolts
The spare wheel bolts are fixed at the
Minispare wheel.
1 Wheel bolt for light alloy rims
2 Wheel bolt for Minispare wheel
(located in trunk with spare wheel)
! To prevent damage, always disengage trunk
floor handle from upper edge of trunk and lower
trunk floor before closing the trunk.
Warning!
G
The dimensions of the Minispare wheel are
different from those of the road wheels. As
a result, the vehicle handling characteristics
change when driving with a Minispare wheel
mounted.
The Minispare wheel should only be used
temporarily, and should be replaced with a
regular road wheel as quickly as possible.
Do not switch off the ESP ® when a Minis-
pare wheel is mounted.
! Wheel bolts 2 must be used when mount-
ing the Minispare wheel. The use of any wheel
bolts other than wheel bolts
2 for the Minispare
wheel will physically damage the vehicle’s
brakes.
Warning!
G
Make sure to use the original length wheel
bolts when remounting the original wheel
after it has been repaired.
