A foam block, located in the spare wheel rim,
contains all tools. The tools consist of a towing
eye, jack* and wheel wrench. The foam block
is screwed into a bracket in the bottom of the
spare wheel well.
Jack*
The original jack should only be used for
changing wheels. The jack's thread must
always be well greased.
Spare wheel*
The spare wheel (Temporary spare) is only
intended for temporary use. Replace the spare
wheel with a normal wheel as soon as possible.
The car's handling may be altered by the use
of the spare wheel. The correct tyre pressure
for the spare wheel is stated in the tyre pres-
sure table, see page 260.
IMPORTANT
Never drive faster than 80 km/h with a spare
wheel on the car.
IMPORTANT
The car must never be driven fitted with
more than one temporary spare wheel.

replaced in the reverse order to taking out.
Note that there is an arrow on the upper foam
block. It must point forwards in the car.

Tools and jack must be stored in the
intended location in the car's cargo area
when not in use.
