Preparing the vehicle

Your vehicle may be equipped with: • MOExtended tires (tires with run-flat properties)   Vehicle preparation is not necessary on vehicles with MOExtended tires.

• a TIREFIT kit  • an emergency spare wheel (only for certain countries) 
Information on changing/mounting a wheel  .

■ Stop the vehicle on solid, non-slippery and level ground, as far away as possible from traffic.

■ Switch on the hazard warning lamps.

■ Secure the vehicle against rolling away  .

■ If possible, bring the front wheels into the straight-ahead position.

■ Vehicles with the ON&OFFROAD package: make sure that highway level is selected  .

■ Switch off the engine.

■ Vehicles without KEYLESS-GO: remove the SmartKey from the ignition lock.

■ Vehicles with KEYLESS-GO: open the driver's door.

The on-board electronics now have status 0. This is the same as the key having been removed.

■ Vehicles with KEYLESS-GO: remove the Start/Stop button from the ignition lock  .

■ All occupants must get out of the vehicle.

Make sure that they are not endangered as they do so.

■ Make sure that no one is near the danger area while a wheel is being changed.

Anyone who is not directly assisting in the wheel change should, for example, stand behind the barrier.

■ Get out of the vehicle. Pay attention to traffic conditions when doing so.

■ Close the driver's door.

■ Unload heavy luggage.

Only operate the tire inflation compressor using a 12 V socket, even if the ignition is turned off  .

An emergency cut-out ensures that the onboard voltage does not drop too low. If the on-board voltage is too low, the power to the sockets is automatically cut. This ensures that there is sufficient power to start the engine.
