What do I do if my Mercedes has a flat tire on the highway?

I pulled over to the side of the road, but I'm still not in a great place. What can I do if I don't know how to change the tire?

“First, make sure you pull over as far as possible on the shoulder and away from traffic.
Next, even if you don’t want to change the tire yourself, you should check the trunk for a spare.
If you have roadside assistance with your
car insurance
company or
AAA
, they may be able to assist you in changing the tire.
If you don’t have a spare, roadside assistance can also tow your car to a safe location to get the tire replaced.
Without roadside assistance, you’ll need to call a tow truck to tow your vehicle to a repair shop. You could also call a friend or family member who may be able to help you change the tire.”
