Warning!
The spare wheel rim is for temporary use only. Use
for over a total of 12 000 miles (20 000 km)
(aggregate of all uses) may cause wheel rim failure
leading to an accident and possible injuries.
The dimensions of the spare wheel are different
from those of the road wheels of the rear axle. As a
result, the vehicle handling characteristics change
when driving with a spare wheel mounted on the
rear axle.
The spare wheel should only be used temporarily,
and replaced with a regular road wheel as quick as
possible.
