189) Observe the following instructions if the car is equipped with a spare wheel smaller than the normal size (a 16" spare wheel is provided
with 17" tyres) or a space-saver spare wheel. The space-saver wheel (for versions/markets where provided) is specific to your car, do not use
it on other models, or use the space-saver wheel of other models on your car. The space-saver spare wheel or spare wheel must be used
only in an emergency. Never use it for more than strictly necessary and never exceed 80 km/h. There is an orange sticker on the space-saver
spare wheel which summarises the main warnings regarding wheel usage restrictions. Never remove or cover the label. The label contains the
following indications in four languages: "Warning! For temporary use only! 80 km/h max! Replace with standard wheel as soon as possible.
Never cover this indication." Never apply a hub cup on a space-saver spare wheel or spare wheel. The driving characteristics of the car will be
modified with the space-saver spare wheel or spare wheel fitted. Avoid violent acceleration and braking, abrupt steering and fast cornering.
The overall duration of the space-saver wheel is about 3000 km, after which the relevant tyre must be replaced with another one of the same
type. Never install a traditional tyre on a rim designed to be used as a space-saver wheel. Have the wheel repaired and refitted as soon as
possible. Using two or more space-saver spare wheels or spare wheels at the same time is forbidden. Do not apply grease to the bolt threads
before fitting: they could come unscrewed.
