僅 Avoid driving over obstacles. The

compact spare tyre diameter is

smaller than the diameter of a con-

ventional tyre and reduces the ground

clearance approximately 2.5 cm (1

inch), which could result in damage to

the vehicle.

僅 Do not take the vehicle through an

automatic car wash whilst the com-

僅 Do not use tyre chains on the tempo-

smaller size, a tyre chain will not fit

properly. This could damage the vehi-
