TIPS AND MAINTENANCE
The pressure must be checked regularly
so that the wheel is always ready for use.
The pressure for the temporary spare
wheel is 4.2 bar.

It is imperative that the designated direc-
tion of rotation for the tyre treads (which
can be determined from the arrow on the
side of the tyre) be kept to. The best tyre
performance i.e. in aquaplaning, road
adhesion, noise and wear are then guar-
anteed.
If a spare wheel has to be fitted against
the stipulated direction of rotation, this
measure should only be a temporary one.
The best possible tyre performance con-
cerning aquaplaning, noise level and
wear are no longer fully guaranteed. We
recommend that you take this into
account, especially in wet weather, and
adjust your speed to the driving condi-
tions.
In order to use the principle of the direc-
tion of rotation fully again, the faulty tyre
must be replaced as soon as possible. If
necessary, mount the tyre fitted against
the direction of rotation in the stipulated
direction.
When u u sing t t he t t emporary s s pare
wheel, n n ote t t he f f ollowing p p oints:
•
The temporary spare wheel is smaller
than the normal wheels. This reduces the
ground clearance under the axle con-
cerned by about 30 mm. To avoid damage
to the underside of the vehicle do not
drive over large obstacles or deep holes.
Do not use automatic car washes when
the temporary spare is fitted – the vehicle
could bottom.

•
The temporary spare wheels for the var-
ious Arosa models have been specially
developed for each vehicle type. They
must not, therefore, be exchanged or
used for other models. Temporary spares
from other vehicle models must not be
used in its place.
•
No other type of tyre – normal or winter
tread – may be fitted on the temporary
spare.
