Notes on temporary spare wheel 3
z Using a temporary spare wheel may
change the driving behaviour of the
vehicle, particularly if using winter
tyres 3. Replace defective tyre as quickly
as possible, balance wheel and fit to
vehicle.
z Fit only one temporary spare wheel.
z Do not drive faster than 50 mph
(80 km/h).
z Take curves slowly.
z Do not use the temporary spare wheel
for a lengthy period.
z Replace temporary spare wheel with full
specification wheel without delay.
z Tyre chains are not permitted on the
temporary spare wheel. If tyre chains are
necessary after a front wheel puncture,
fit the temporary spare wheel to the rear
and a rear wheel to the front. Check tyre
pressure and adjust if necessary –
see page 280.
z Follow temporary spare wheel
instructions on pages 184, 218 and 280.
Notes on directional tyres 3
Directional tyres only provide maximum
performance when they are mounted in the
correct direction of rotation. If the tyres or
spare wheel must be mounted opposing
the specified direction of rotation (e.g.
after changing a flat tyre), observe the
following:
z Vehicle handling may change. Have the
defective tyre replaced as soon as
possible, and have the wheel balanced
and mounted on the vehicle.
z Do not drive faster than 50 mph
(80 km/h).
z Be especially careful when driving in rain
and snow.
