WARNINGS  
GENERAL INFORMATION  
Do not fit more than one spare

one time.  
Use only approved wheel and  
tyre sizes. Using other sizes  
could damage the vehicle and will

type of wheel.

under the floor cover in the luggage  
compartment.  
If you change the diameter of the  
tyres from that fitted at the

display the correct speed. Take the  
vehicle to your dealer to have the  
engine management system  
reprogrammed.  
Locking wheel nuts  
You can obtain a replacement locking  
wheel nut key and replacement  
locking wheel nuts from your dealer

emergency situations.  
CHANGING A ROAD
