damaged. The tyre damage may not be visible
and not detectable.
A damaged tyre may cause a loss of tyre
pressure. This could cause you to lose control
of the vehicle.
Only use the spare wheel if it has not
#
yet been fitted on the rear axle with the
current tyres.
If the spare wheel had been fitted on
#
the rear axle, have the tyre of the spare
wheel replaced after changing the
wheel again, irrespectively of the dis‐
tance.
For safety reasons, when changing a
#
tyre ensure that only the tyre valve type
approved for the tyres is used.
* NOTE Damage to the transmission
Vehicles with Super Single tyres: when you
fit the spare wheel on the rear axle, the trans‐
mission may be damaged by the different
rotational speeds of the wheels.
When the spare wheel is fitted on the
#
rear axle, keep to the maximum speed
of 55 km/h and the maximum distance
of 100 km.

cle with Super Single tyres.

ularly prior to long journeys:
the tyre pressure of the spare wheel (adjust
R
the tyre pressure if necessary)
the fastenings of the spare wheel holder

Replace the tyres after six years at the latest,
regardless of wear. This also applies to the spare
