Spare wheel (optional)
On request, the vehicle can be equipped
with a kit containing:
• Spare wheel with smaller tyre. The
A
plate B on the spare wheel rim indicates
the maximum permitted speed of
80 km/h (50 mph).
• Additional toolkit C containing: jack and
wrench to fasten the wheel stud bolts.
�
Warning
• Always keep the spare wheel in perfect
working order, periodically checking that
the inflation pressure is 4.2 bar (62 psi).
• It must only be used for short trips, in
emergencies.
• When the spare wheel is fitted, never
exceed the maximum speed of 80 km/h
(50 mph) and drive carefully, especially
around bends and when overtaking,
avoiding accelerating or braking
suddenly.
• Do not exceed the approved weight
limits.
• Do not fit snow chains on the spare
wheel.
• Never fit more than one spare wheel at a
time.
Failure to comply with these instructions
could lead to loss of control of the vehicle
and consequently damage to the vehicle and
injuries to the occupants.
�
On vehicles equipped with tyre pressure
monitoring system, turn off the engine when
�
you have a puncture. Start it again only
after having fitted the spare wheel in order
to prevent that the system interprets the spare
wheel as a malfunction.
