Points to note

Also check the tire pressure of the compact spare wheel at regular intervals and before long trips, and correct it if necessary. Refer to the value on the wheel or in the chapter "Technical data".

The tire pressure loss warning cannot function reliably while you are driving with a compact spare wheel. Only reactivate the tire pressure loss warning after replacing the defective wheel with a normal wheel.

The compact spare tire can also be mounted in the reverse direction of rotation. Observe the conditions for the "Minispare" compact spare wheel, steel wheels, temporary use, as well as the speed limit indicated on the compact spare wheel.

Replace the tyres after 6 years at the latest, regardless of their level of wear. This also applies to the compact spare wheel.
