In an Emergency
CAUTION!
•
In order to obtain a more accurate
reading, the compressor should be
switched off when checking the tire
pressure of the compact spare wheel
on the pressure gauge.
•
Do not run the compressor for more
than 20 minutes: there is a risk it
could overheat. Also, prolonged
power absorption may discharge the
battery, subsequently preventing the
engine from starting.
• The compressor has been designed
exclusively to inflate compact spare
wheels; do not use it to inflate air
mattresses, dinghies etc.
• With the kit spanner, turn
anticlockwise the hexagonal end of
the jack to lower the vehicle and
remove the jack.
• Fully tighten the bolts, alternately
tightening diametrically opposite.

WARNING!
•
FOR ALUMINIUM SPARE WHEEL
Observe the tightening torque for
the bolts securing the spare wheel
(98 ± 10 Nm/ 72 ± 7 lbf·ft).
•
FOR STEEL SPARE WHEEL Observe
the tightening torque for the bolts
268
securing the spare wheel (86 ± 10
Nm/ 63 ± 7 lbf·ft).
• Bolts must be tightened only after
vehicle is back to ground, so as
to prevent it from falling down
due to the force exerted for bolt
tightening. Failure to comply with
this recommendation can cause
operator injuries.
WARNING!
• The compact spare wheel is narrower
than standard wheels and must
only be used to travel the distance
required to reach a service station,
where the punctured tire can be
repaired or replaced.
•
Do not exceed a maximum speed
of 80 km/h (50 mph) when using
the compact spare wheel; when
this limit is exceeded, the stability,
road holding and braking of the
vehicle will be compromised. Avoid
accelerating to full speed, heavy
braking and fast cornering.
•
The compact spare wheel must
be inflated to the recommended
tire pressure ( : chapter "Tire
Inflation Pressure" in section
"Technical Specifications").
• For safety reasons, it is absolutely
forbidden to drive with more than
one compact spare wheel fitted on
the vehicle.
• Snow chains cannot be fitted on the
compact spare wheel.
•
The compact spare wheel can travel
a maximum of 3000 km (1800 mi).
• For Trofeo Version, in case of
tire/rim/valve replacement, it is
necessary to use a new valve and
sensor with same technical features.
To Refit the Standard Wheel with
Repaired or Replaced Tire
• Following the procedure and the
caution described above, raise the
vehicle and remove the compact
spare wheel reusing the supplied
spanner.
• Fit the standard wheel with repaired
or replaced tire.
• Tighten the original bolts on the
wheel.
