Observe the following notes on fitting an emer‐

Check the tyre pressure of the emergency
R
spare wheel fitted. Correct the pressure as
necessary.
The maximum permissible speed with an
R
emergency spare wheel fitted is 80 km/h.
Do not fit the emergency spare wheel with
R
snow chains.
Replace the emergency spare wheel after six
R
years at the latest, regardless of wear.
Vehicles with a tyre pressure loss warn‐
