WARNING (cont inued)
no circumstances should you store the spare wheel or jack and
tools uns ecured in the passenger compartment.
This
could cause
serious personal injury to passengers in the vehicle in case of a
collision.
• The compact spare ti re is for temporary use only and is so
marked on the sidewalls
.
•
Do not drive at speeds exceeding 50 mph (80 km/h
)
with the
compact spare wheel mounted
.
Also rapid acceleration, hard
braking and hard corne ring must be avoided to help prevent loss
of vehicle control.
• Any continuous road use of the compact spare tire may result
in tire failure, los
s
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 cond itions which require
snow chains
,
first remove the undamaged
rear
wheel and mount
the compact spare wheel in its place
.
Then remove the damag
e
d
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
.
