Stowing a used collapsible spare wheel
Take the following steps to stow a used collapsible spare wheel. It will otherwise not fit in the spare wheel well. Mercedes-Benz recommends that you have this work carried out at a qualified specialist workshop, e.g. an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
Only place the collapsible spare wheel in the vehicle when it is dry. Otherwise, moisture may get into the vehicle.
•► Unscrew the valve cap from the valve.
•► Use the back of the valve cap to unscrew the valve insert from the valve and release the air.
Fully deflating the tire can take a few minutes.
•► Screw the valve insert back into the valve.
•► Screw the valve cap back on.
•► Remove the protective sheet from the vehicle tool kit and pull it over the collapsible spare wheel.
•► Stow the collapsible spare wheel in the emergency spare wheel well under the trunk.
