Warning!
The dimensions of the Minispare wheel are
different from those of the road wheels. As
a result, the vehicle handling characteristics
change when driving with a Minispare wheel
mounted.
The Minispare wheel should only be used
temporarily, and should be replaced with a
regular road wheel as quickly as possible.
In case of a flat tire, you may temporarily
use the Minispare wheel when observing
the following restrictions:
Do not exceed a vehicle speed of
50 mph (80 km/h).
Drive to the nearest tire repair facility
to have the flat tire repaired or
replaced as appropriate.
Do not operate vehicle with more than
one Minispare wheel mounted.
For more information, see "Rims and Tires"
( page 403).
Spare wheel bolts
G
1 Wheel bolt for light alloy rims
2 Wheel bolt for Minispare wheel (locat-
ed in trunk with spare wheel)
!
Wheel bolts 2 must be used when mount-
ing the Minispare wheel. The use of any wheel
bolts other than wheel bolts 2 for the Minispare
wheel will physically damage the vehicle's
brakes.
Warning!
Make sure to use the original length wheel
bolts when remounting the original wheel
after it has been repaired.
