Spare wheel*
The spare wheel can be used to replace a punc-
tured normal wheel.
The spare wheel is stored in a bag and must be
secured with two straps on the floor of the cargo
area during driving. The backrests of the third row
of seats must be lowered.
The straps must be tensioned crosswise over the
wheel and attached in the car's four load retain-
ing eyelets.
Check the tyre pressure in the spare wheel regu-
larly as well.
