Changing wheels - removing wheels

The car's wheels can be changed for e.g. win-
ter wheels/winter tyres.
Spare wheel*
The following instructions only apply if a
spare wheel has been purchased as an
accessory for the car. If the car is not equip-
ped with a spare wheel - see information
about Emergency puncture repair (TMK) (p.
333).
The spare wheel (Temporary spare) is only
intended for use temporarily and must be
replaced by an ordinary wheel as soon as
possible. The car's handling may be altered
by the use of the spare wheel. The spare
wheel is smaller than the normal wheel. The
car's ground clearance is affected accord-
ingly. Pay attention to high kerbs and do not
machine wash the car. If the spare wheel is
fitted on the front axle, you cannot use snow
chains at the same time. On all-wheel drive
cars the drive on the rear axle can be discon-
nected. The spare wheel must not be
repaired.
The correct tyre pressure for the spare wheel
is stated in the tyre pressure table (p. 407).
IMPORTANT
•
Never drive faster than 80 km/h with a
spare wheel on the car.
•
The car must never be driven fitted
with more than one "Temporary
Spare" wheel.
The spare wheel is supplied in a bag which
must be secured on the cargo area floor
using straps.
Cars with four load retaining eyelets.
Turn the handle on the spare wheel bag out
towards you. Attach the sewn-in tensioning
strap hooks in the front load retaining eyelets.
Attach the long strap into one of the front
load retaining eyelets, run the strap diagonally
over the spare wheel and through the upper
handle. Tighten the short tensioning strap
onto the long one. Attach the rear load retain-
ing eyelet and tighten.
