TIPS AND ADVICE
16" steel spare wheel for ve-
hicles with sports suspension*
The 16" steel spare wheel is stored under
the carpeting in the luggage compartment.
A large plastic nut holds it in place.
When temporarily using the 16" steel spare
wheel to replace a 17" road wheel, note the
following:
• After installing the 16" steel
spare wheel, the tire inflation pres-
sure must be checked and if neces-
sary, increased or decreased to the
air pressure required depending on
whether the spare wheel is i nstalled
on the front or the back and depend-
ing on the loading of the vehicle. See
tire pressure sticker on the inside of
the fuel filler flap.
• The 16" spare wheel must be re-
turned to the spare wheel well as
soon as the standard road wheel can
be repaired or replaced.
• The load carrying capacity is
marked an the tire sidewalls and
must not be exceeded.
• Because the 16" spare wheel was f
specifically designed for your ve-
hicle, it must not be used on any
other vehicle. Likewise, spare
wheels from other vehicles must not
be used on your vehicle.
• Do not use the spare tire supplied
with your vehicle on any other rims.
Do not mount a tire that is not the
same size as the 16" spare supplied
with your vehicle on the 16" steel
spare wheel that came with your ve-
hicle. Do not use wheel covers or
1
trim rings unless they were specifi-
cally designed and approved for use
on the 16" steel spare wheel sup-
plied with your vehicle. If your ve-
hicle was supplied with 16" road
wheels with steel rims and wheel
covers, you can use these wheel
covers on the 16" steel spare.
~WARNING
Improperly using the 16" spare to
replace a 17" road wheel can
cause loss of vehicle control and
serious personal injury.
• The 16" steel spare wheel is for
temporary use only on vehicles
with sports suspensi on and 17"
I
road wheels and is so marked on
the sidewalls.
