Opel Vivaro Manual page 129

Use of a spare wheel that is smaller
than the other wheels or together with
winter tyres could affect driveability.
Have the defective tyre replaced as
soon as possible.
The spare wheel is mounted under
the rear underbody and may be
secured using a security bolt that can
only be removed using the tool
supplied.
9 Warning
Due to the weight of the tyre
assembly, exercise caution when
releasing the spare wheel carrier.
Do not fully remove bolt 1.
Support the spare wheel with
a suitable object to prevent the
wheel falling suddenly when
loosening the carrier bolts - risk of
injury!
It may be necessary to jack the
vehicle up to gain access to the spare
wheel on a fully loaded vehicle with
a flat rear tyre.
To release the spare wheel carrier,
loosen bolt 1, ensuring it is not fully
removed. Fully remove bolt 2, then
pull the carrier to the left, until it clears
bolt 1, and lower the carrier assembly.
When installing the wheel ensure that
the spare wheel carrier is correctly
positioned before tightening the bolts.
Vehicle care
Summer and winter tyres
If you use winter tyres, the spare
wheel may still be fitted with
a summer tyre.
If you use the spare wheel when it is
fitted with a summer tyre the vehicle's
driveability may be affected,
especially on slippery road surfaces.
Directional tyres
Fit directional tyres such that they roll
in the direction of travel. The rolling
direction is indicated by a symbol
(e.g. an arrow) on the sidewall.
The following applies to tyres fitted
opposing the rolling direction:
■ Driveability may be affected. Have
the defective tyre renewed or
repaired as soon as possible.
■ Do not drive faster than 50 mph.
■ Drive particularly carefully on wet
and snow-covered road surfaces.
Jump starting
Do not start with a quick charger.
