General information
Depending on the model variant, the spare
wheel may be designed for use as a
temporary spare 3. The temporary spare is
designated by a sticker on the rim. Follow
the instructions on this page and
pages 137, 205.
On vehicles with alloy wheels 3 the spare
wheel may have a steel rim.
If you use winter tyres 3, the spare wheel
may still be fitted with a summer tyre. If you
use the spare wheel the vehicle's handling
may be altered. Obtain a replacement for
the faulty tyre as soon as possible, and
have the wheel balanced and fitted to the
vehicle.
The spare wheel may have a smaller tyre
and a smaller rim than the wheels mounted
1)
on the vehicle : using the spare wheel may
alter the driving behaviour of the vehicle.
Have the defective tyre replaced as soon
as possible and have the wheel balanced
and mounted on the vehicle.
1)
Country-specific version: The spare wheel is
only permitted for use as a temporary spare.
Notes on temporary spare wheel 3
z Using a temporary spare wheel may
change the driving behaviour of the
vehicle, particularly if using winter
tyres 3. Replace defective tyre as quickly
as possible, balance wheel and fit to
vehicle.
z Fit only one temporary spare wheel.
z Do not drive faster than 50 mph
(80 km/h).
z Take curves slowly.
z Do not use the temporary spare wheel
for a lengthy period.
z Replace temporary spare wheel with full
specification wheel without delay.
z Do not use tyre chains. If tyre chains
must be used when one of the front tyres
has a flat, mount the temporary spare
wheel on the rear axle and transfer one
of the rear wheels to the front axle.
Check the tyre pressure and correct if
necessary - see pages 205, 206.
z Note the information on the temporary
spare wheel on pages 205, 137.
Information on directional tyres 3
Directional tyres perform optimally when
they are mounted in their prescribed
direction of rotation. If after a flat tyre, the
tyre or spare wheel is mounted against its
prescribed direction of rotation, bear in
mind the following:
z Vehicle handling may be altered. Have
the defective tyre replaced as soon as
possible and have the wheel balanced
and mounted on the vehicle.
z Do not drive faster than 50 mph
(80 km/h).
z Drive especially carefully in wet and
snowy weather.
