|  What's missing from my SLK boot?! I have a collapsible wheel, but no inflator like it says in the manual. Should that be on the wee square thing on top of the wheel? Should there also be wheel nuts or do you use the main ones off a wheel the car? Might there be something under the wheel? Sorry, a bit weedy or I'd wrestle the wheel out and look! Can anyone help? thanks Shona |

| Don't use the wheel bolts from the primary tires. When you use the spare, you must use shorter bolts, otherwise damage will occur.

| Wow, and you took the wheel out? On mine the nuts are in a kind of plastic shrink wrap thingee under the wheel. What about the Jack and the wheel change alignment tool? |

| The alignment tool is a little aluminum rod with wheel threads on one end. When you are taking a wheel off and then putting one back, you remove the top bolt first, screw in this rod. Then remove the rest of the bolts and slide the wheel off the rod. When replacing the wheel, just slide it back over the rod and then all the bolt holes will be aligned. No fooling around trying to line up the holes during a time when your hands are around the wheel well waiting to get smashed. |

| Is the spare tire (collapsible) similar in the R170 to the R171? Does the R170 come with an air pump also? (Just asking, as I am not familiar with the R170).

| Oops. Either I didn't notice it was a 320 or OP added that after my post. Don't remember exactly how things were in the 320, but I know I had the wheel tool. I think with the 320 there was a little tool kit wrapped in cloth and the tool was in that. Sorry for any confusion caused. |
