Preparing the vehicle

̈

Park the vehicle in a safe distance from
moving traffic on a hard, flat surface
when possible.

Turn the steering wheel so that the
front wheels are in a straight ahead
position.

̈

Set the parking brake.

Move the gear selector lever to P.

Vehicles with SmartKey:

switch.

Vehicles with KEYLESS-GO*:

̈

Turn off the engine by pressing the
KEYLESS-GO* button on the gear
selector lever once (

Mounting the spare wheel

i

Open door only when conditions are safe to

do so.

Warning!

G

The dimensions of the spare wheel

(Minispare or collapsible tire) 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 spare wheel mounted,

ensure proper tire pressure and do not ex-

ceed a vehicle speed of 50 mph (80 km/h).

Drive to the nearest 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.

Do not switch off the ESP

®

when a Minis-

pare or collapsible tire is mounted.
