The collapsible spare wheel is an emergency
spare wheel which is only suitable for use for a
limited period of time and in a restricted manner
in the event of a flat tire (e.g. until the nearest
workshop).
The tire sidewalls are folded when in transport
mode. Before use, the collapsible spare wheel
has to be inflated with the accompanying com‐
pressor.
Check the tire pressure of the collapsible spare
wheel once installed. Correct the pressure as
necessary.
The maximum permissible speed with a collapsi‐
ble spare wheel installed is 50 mph (80 km/h).
Do not install snow chains on the collapsible
spare wheel.
Replace the collapsible spare wheel after six
years at the latest, regardless of wear.

Vehicles with a tire pressure monitoring
system: If a collapsible spare wheel is instal‐
led the tire pressure monitoring system can‐
not function reliably. For a few minutes after
an emergency spare wheel is installed, the
system may still display the tire pressure of
the removed wheel. Only restart the system
again when the collapsible spare wheel has
been replaced with a new wheel.
