Spare Wheel
This vehicle is equipped with a
temporary spare wheel, whose
dimensions, pressure and useful life
are different from your vehicle's
road wheels (regular use).
Therefore, use it only in emergency
situations and replace it as soon as
the road wheel is repaired or
replaced. The temporary spare
wheel should not be used in
distances greater than 100 Km.
The use of the temporary spare
wheel may alter the vehicle dynamic
behavior, especially when making
turns and braking. However, it does
not affect safety if used at speeds
below 80 Km/h. The temporary
spare tyre is equipped with steel
wheel.
{
Warning
Always use a temporary spare
wheel at speeds below 80km/h
and in distances up to 100km.
1. Insert the chiseled end of the
jack handle at a slight angle
through the central hole in the
rear compartment and into the
funnelshaped guide.
2. Turn the wheel wrench
counterclockwise to lower the
spare tyre to the ground.
Continue to turn the wheel
wrench until the spare tyre
can be pulled out from under
the vehicle.
3. Tilt the retainer when the tyre
has been lowered and slide it
up the cable so it can be pulled
up through the wheel opening.
4. Turn the wheel nut of the
security cable
counterclockwise to release it.
Remove the security cable.
Stowing of a Damaged Wheel
A damaged wheel must be stowed
in the spare wheel compartment.

their original place behind a cover
on the right side of the load
compartment, see Tools 0 275.
