MODEL 208, 215, 220

Model 208, 215, 220: Each vehicle is equipped with a weight-optimized lightweight spare wheel.

Model 208: 7Jx16 ET37 with full-size tires 205/55 R 16

Model 215: 7.5 J x 17 H2 wheel offset 51 with full-sized tires 225/55 R 17

This wheel is designed for a limited driven distance of maximum 20, 000 km and it may not be used as a normal wheel.

When replacing a tire the spare tire can be mounted on a wheel, if the tire design matches the wheel. If the tire is older than 6 years, it should only be used in a breakdown case.

Operation with more than one lightweight spare wheel is not permissible.

Have the lightweight spare wheel replaced by a normal wheel at the next Mercedes-Benz Service-Station.

If the lightweight spare wheel is mounted on vehicles with a tire size 245/45 R18, then because of the different tire dimensions a change in handling performance can be expected.

Have the lightweight spare wheel replaced by a normal wheel at the next Mercedes-Benz Service-Station.
