Spare wheel

Some vehicles are equipped with a
tyre repair kit instead of a spare
wheel.
If mounting a spare wheel, which is
different from the other wheels, this
wheel might be classified as a
temporary spare wheel and the
corresponding speed limits apply,
even though no label indicates this.
Seek the assistance of a workshop to
check the applicable speed limit.
The spare wheel has a steel rim.
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. It is secured with a wing nut.
The spare wheel well is not designed
for all permissible tyre sizes. If a
wheel wider than the spare wheel has
to be stowed in the load
compartment, it must be secured with
a strap or, depending on the version,
with an extension bar.
Storing a replaced wheel in the
load compartment using a strap
Use the strap placed in the tool box.
