Spare Wheel - Vauxhall CORSA Owner's Manual

282 Vehicle care
The front arm position of the lifting
platform is centrically under the
relevant vehicle jacking point.

Spare wheel

The spare wheel can be classified as
a temporary spare wheel depending
on the size compared to the other
mounted wheels and country
regulations. In this case, a
permissible maximum speed applies,
even though no label at the spare
wheel indicates this.
If there is a label on the spare wheel,
the permissible speed still depends
on the country regulations.
Only mount one temporary spare
wheel. Take curves slowly. Do not
use for a long period of time.
Caution
The use of a spare wheel that is
smaller than the other wheels or in
combination with winter tyres
could affect driveability. Have the
defective tyre replaced as soon as
possible.
The spare wheel is located in the load
compartment beneath the floor
covering.
To remove:
1. Open the floor cover 3 48.
2. The temporary spare wheel is
secured with a wing nut. Unscrew
nut and take out the spare wheel.
3. When, after a wheel change, no
wheel is placed in the spare wheel
well, tighten the wing nut and
close floor cover.
4. After wheel change back to full
size wheel, place the temporary
spare wheel outside up in the well
and secure with the wing nut.
Fitting the spare wheel
Make the following preparations and
observe the following information:
● Park the vehicle on a level, firm
and non-skid surface. The front
wheels must be in the straight-
ahead position.
● If necessary, place a chock under
the wheel diagonally opposite the
wheel to be changed.
● Apply the parking brake and
engage first gear, reverse gear or
P.
● Remove the spare wheel.
● Never change more than one
wheel at once.
● Use the jack only to change
wheels in case of puncture, not
for seasonal winter or summer
tyre change.
● The jack is maintenance-free.
● If the ground on which the vehicle
is standing is soft, a solid board
(max. 1 cm thick) should be
placed under the jack.
● Take heavy objects out of the
vehicle before jacking up.
