Spare wheel
WARNINGS
Use only approved wheel and
tyre sizes. Using other sizes
could damage the vehicle and will
make the National Type Approval
invalid.
If the spare wheel differs from
the other fitted wheels, these
rules must be followed:
• Do not exceed 80 km/h (50mph).
• Drive the shortest possible
distances.
• Do not fit more than one spare
wheel on your vehicle at any one
time.
• Do not use snow chains on this
type of wheel.
• Do not drive through an automatic
car wash.
The spare wheel is located at the rear
underneath the luggage
compartment floor.
