WARNING
Always store jacking equipment, spare wheel in the luggage
compartment. Tighten screw for the spare wheel securely. Under
no circumstances should you store the spare wheel or jack and
tools unsecured in the passenger compartment. This could cause
serious personal injury to passengers
in

•
The
compact
spare tire is for temporary use only and is so
marked on the sidewalls.
•
Do not drive at speeds exceeding 50 mph
(80
km/hi with the
compact
spare wheel mounted. Also rapid acceleration, hard
braking and hard cornering must be avoided to help prevent loss
of vehicle
contro l.
•
Any continuous road use of the
compact
spare tire may result
in tire failure, loss of vehicle control and injury to vehicle occu-
pants.
•
Do not put a snow chain on your compact spare tire. Due to the
smaller tire size, the chain will not fit properly and can thus
damage your vehicle. You
could
also
lose
the chain, as well as
control of the vehicle
.
•
If you have a flat front tire
in
road conditions which require
snow chains, first remove the undamaged rear wheel and mount
the compact spare wheel in its place. Then remove the damaged
front wheel, take the snow chains off it and attach them to the
wheel taken from the rear. This wheel can now be mounted on the
front with its snow chains. Check and adjust tire pressure
promptly.
•
Never use two or more compact spare tires at the same time.
