Temporary Spare Tires, Usage
If Necessary, Inform the Customer of the Information Listed below and Refer Them Also to Their Vehicle service information.
The following notes listed also apply to spare wheels that are marked with a yellow sticker with the note "MAX 80 km/h (49.7 mph)" or "MAX 50 mph".
The temporary spare tire/spare tire is designed only for temporary and short-term use. Therefore it must be replaced with a standard wheel as soon as possible.
After mounting the temporary spare tire/spare tire, the tire pressure must be checked as quickly as possible. The correct tire pressures can be found in the tire pressure table for the applicable vehicle or in the applicable Maintenance information.
Always pay attention to the speed rating information for the temporary spare tires ("MAX 80 km/h (49.7 mph)" or "MAX 50 mph").
Full-throttle acceleration, hard braking and driving rapidly around curves should be avoided.
Never drive with more than one temporary spare tire/spare tire.
For technical reasons, it is not permitted to use snow chains on the temporary spare tire.
If the vehicle must be driven with snow chains, the temporary spare tire must be installed on the rear axle when there is a faulty front wheel. The dismounted rear wheel must then be mounted in place of the faulty front wheel.
