General information
The spare wheel is 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
149, 233.
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 standard tyres:
using the spare wheel may alter driving
characteristics. Replace a defective tyre as
soon as possible, have the wheel balanced
and fitted to the vehicle.
