For emergencies
Compact spare wheel*
The compact spare wheel is stored under the floor of the lug-
gage area. It is designed to save space in the luggage area and
its light weight makes it easy to handle in the event of a flat
tyre.
CAUTION
!
● The compact spare wheel is for temporary use only
and should be removed as soon as the original wheel
can be repaired or replaced.
● The vehicle must not be driven at speeds in excess of
80 km/h (50 mph) while using the compact spare
wheel.
● The compact spare wheel is not as good as a stand-
ard wheel in controllability and stability. When the
compact spare wheel is used, avoid quick starts, sud-
den braking and sharp steering.
● The compact spare wheel is specifically designed for
your vehicle and it should not be used on any other
vehicle.

CAUTION
!
● Do not use tyre chain with your compact spare
wheel. Because of the smaller tyre size, a tyre chain
will not fit properly. This could cause damage to the
wheel and result in loss of the chain.
If a front tyre becomes flat when using tyre chains,
first replace a rear wheel with the compact spare
wheel and then use the removed rear wheel to
replace the flat front wheel so that you can continue
to use the chains.
