Spare wheel

Some vehicles are equipped with a
tyre repair kit instead of a spare
wheel.
The spare wheel can be classified as
a temporary spare wheel depending
on the size compared to the other
mounted wheels and country
regulations.
The spare wheel has a steel rim.
The use of a spare wheel that is
smaller than the other wheels or in
combination with winter tyres could
affect driveability. Have the defective
tyre replaced as soon as possible.
