Warning! G Prepare the vehicle as described on ( page 436). Take the wheel wrench, alignment bolt, collapsible wheel chock, and the jack out of the trunk ( page 407). Take the Minispare wheel and wheel bolts out of the trunk ( page 407). The dimensions of the Minispare wheel are different from those of the road wheels. As a result, the vehicle handling characteristics change when driving with a Minispare wheel mounted. Adapt your driving style accordingly. The spare wheel is for temporary use only. When driving with spare wheel mounted, ensure proper tire inflation pressure and do not exceed 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 Minispare wheel mounted. Do not switch off the ESP® when a Minispare wheel is mounted. 441
