After use:
– Pack everything in reverse order.
Make sure that the warning triangle with case
is securely fastened in the compartment.
Spare wheel Temporary Spare*
The spare wheel (Temporary spare) is only
intended for use temporarily and must be
replaced by an ordinary wheel as soon as
possible. The car's handling may be altered
by the use of the spare wheel. The spare
wheel is smaller than the normal wheel. The
car's ground clearance is affected accord-
ingly. Pay attention to high kerbs and do not
machine wash the car. If the spare wheel is
fitted on the front axle, you cannot use snow
chains at the same time. On all-wheel drive
cars the drive on the rear axle can be discon-
nected. The spare wheel must not be
repaired. The correct tyre pressure for the
spare wheel is stated in the tyre pressure
table, see page 298.
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.
