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.
Engage the electric parking brake manually.
Bring the front wheels into the straightahead position.
Move the DIRECT SELECT 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.
