are folded away from the windshield. You would
damage the hood and the wiper arms.

The vehicle is either equipped with a spare
wheel or the Premium tire sealant.
The spare wheel is located under the rear
end of the vehicle (
e page 206).
The Premium tire sealant is located in the
stowage compartment in the right-hand
doorway (e page 208).
When you replace a tire, we also recom-
mend that you replace the tire valve.
Replacing the wiper blades
G Warning
Wiper blades are wear parts. Change the wip-
er blades every six months, ideally in the
spring and fall. Otherwise, the windshield and
rear window will not be wiped properly. This
may prevent you from observing the traffic
conditions, thereby causing an accident.
G Warning
If intermittent wipe or the rain sensor is ac-
tive, the windshield wipers could move at any
time and injure you or others upon contact
with them.
Always remove the key from the ignition lock
before replacing the wiper blades.
Flat tire
G Warning
Defective or worn tires, and tire pressures
that are either too high or too low, can cause
significant changes in the vehicle's handling
and braking characteristics. There is an in-
creased risk of an accident.
Replace the tires, including the spare tire, at
least every 6 years, regardless of the degree
of treadwear.
Check the tire pressure on the spare wheel at
regular intervals
