182 Vehicle care
The spare wheel has a steel rim.
Use of a spare wheel that is smaller
than the other wheels or together 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 in the recess
with a wing nut.
The spare wheel well is not designed
for all permitted tyre sizes. If a wheel
wider than the spare must be stowed
in the spare wheel well after changing
wheels, the floor cover can be placed
on the projecting wheel.
Temporary spare wheel
Use of the temporary spare wheel
could affect driveability. Have the
defective tyre renewed or repaired as
soon as possible.
Only mount one temporary spare
wheel. Do not drive faster than
80 km/h (50 mph). Take curves
slowly. Do not use for a long period of
time.
Tyre chains 3 176.
Directional tyres
Fit directional tyres such that they roll
in the direction of travel. The rolling
direction is indicated by a symbol
(e.g. an arrow) on the sidewall.
The following applies to tyres fitted
opposing the rolling direction:
■ Driveability may be affected. Have
the defective tyre renewed or
repaired as soon as possible.
■ Do not drive faster than 80 km/h
(50 mph).
■ Drive particularly carefully on wet
and snow-covered road surfaces.
