ADDITIONAL SPARE WHEEL WARNING LABEL
The structural spare wheel in model 208 (CLK) vehicles is for temporary use only. Due to its construction, the wheel has a limited use of 12,000 miles. The current label on the wheel indicates only the limit in kilometers. To alert the customer of this limitation in miles, a warning label is now available (see sample in Figure 1).
The warning label is to be installed on the spare wheel retainer of all model 208 vehicles.
Installation procedure:
1. Make sure the spare wheel retainer is fully tightened.
2. Clean area with rubbing alcohol if necessary.
3. Peel off backing and apply label to proper location between the spokes of the plastic spare wheel retainer at the 12 o'clock position.
IMPORTANT
Surface must be clean, dry, and not colder than 50° F (10° C). Complete bonding of label takes place in 72 hours.
