CAUTION
l
Do not use the tyre chain with your com-
pact spare wheel. Because the diameter is
different from that of a standard type,
the tyre chain will not fit properly. This
could cause damage to the wheel and re-
sult in loss of the chain.
If a rear tyre becomes flat when using
tyre chains, first replace a front wheel
with the compact spare wheel and then
use the removed front wheel to replace
the flat rear wheel so that you can contin-
ue to use the chains.
CAUTION
l
Since the diameter of the compact spare
tyre is different from that of a standard
tyre, when passing over the projections
on the road, take care not to drive the ve-
hicle with the same feeling as used in driv-
ing with the standard tyre on.
CAUTION
l
Do not install more than one compact
spare wheel at the same time.
To remove the spare tyre
E00803500308
1. Lift up the luggage floor board.
2. To remove the spare tyre, remove the instal-
lation clamp (A) by turning it anticlockwise.
NOTE
l Put the spare wheel under the vehicle body
near the jack. This makes it safer if the jack
slips out of position.
