Flat tire
Your vehicle may be equipped with an
MOExtended system or a spare wheel with
collapsible tire. Vehicles with an MOExtended
system do not have a spare wheel or a TIREFIT
kit.
For information on your vehicle’s equipment,
see “Rims and tires” (
The dimensions of the spare wheel are
different from those of the road wheels. As a
result, the vehicle handling characteristics
change when driving with a spare wheel
mounted. Adapt your driving style
accordingly.
The spare wheel is for temporary use only.
When driving with a spare wheel mounted,
ensure proper tire inflation pressure and do
not exceed a vehicle speed of 50 mph
(80 km/h).
Contact the nearest authorized Mercedes-
Benz Center as soon as possible to have the
spare wheel replaced with a regular road
wheel.
Never operate the vehicle with more than one
spare wheel mounted.
