Wheel for temporary use

Fitting a wheel

Your vehicle may be fitted with a spare wheel

which is different to those on the vehicle. When

fitting the spare wheel, it is normal to notice

that the wheel bolt washers do not come into

contact with the wheel rim. The spare wheel is

secured by the conical tapering of the wheel

bolt’s shaft.

When refitting the original wheel, ensure that

the wheel bolt contact surfaces are clean and

in good condition.
