Spare wheel
The spare wheel is only intended for tempo-
rary use. Replace it with a normal wheel as
soon as possible. The car's handling may be
altered by the use of the spare wheel. The
correct tire pressure for the spare wheel is
stated in the tire pressure table, see Tire infla-
tion – pressure table (p. 282) and in the tire
inflation placard on the driver's side door
jamb at the rear of the driver's door opening.
WARNING
Current legislation prohibits the use of the
"Temporary Spare" tire other than as a
temporary replacement for a punctured
tire. It must be replaced as soon as possi-
ble by a standard tire. Road holding and
handling may be affected with the "Tem-
porary Spare" in use.
CAUTION
The vehicle must never be driven with
more than one temporary spare wheel.
The spare wheel is located in the spare wheel
well with the rim side down. There are two
foam blocks, one under the spare wheel and
one over/inside. The upper one contains all
tools.
The same bolt runs through to secure the
spare wheel and the foam blocks.
