218 Car care
Important considerations when driving with
a compact spare wheel:
• The car’s ground clearance is reduced.
• The car must not be driven with more than
one compact spare wheel at a time.
• Avoid driving against the kerb.
• Do not use snow chains.
• Do not fit the wheel cover as this would
conceal the warning text.
If the car is equipped with a trip computer,
you can use the "Speed warning" function,
since you must not exceed 50 mph
(80 km/h). Tyre repair kit 3
On certain markets, the spare wheel has
been replaced by a tyre repair kit. Using this
repair kit, the punctured tyre can be temporarily
repaired and inflated without having to
remove the wheel. See page 223.
Warning triangle 3
Stow the warning triangle far in on the righthand
side of the luggage compartment.
If the luggage compartment if full, it is easiest
to reach the warning triangle by folding
down the narrow part of the rear seat and
reaching it this way. Folding down the rear
seat backrest, Sedan, see page 110.
