Preparing the vehicle
Your vehicle may be equipped with a "Minispare" emergency spare wheel or MOExtended tires (tires with run-flat properties).
Vehicle preparation is not
necessary on
vehicles with MOExtended tires.
Stop the vehicle as far away as possible from traffic on solid,
non-slippery and level ground.
Switch on the hazard warning lamps.
Firmly depress the parking brake.
Bring the front wheels into the straightahead position.
Vehicles with manual transmission: engage first or reverse gear.
Vehicles with automatic transmission: move the selector lever to P.
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 have status 0, which is the same as the SmartKey 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.
