removal or absence of a wheel ﬁtted

the tyre pressure of the spare wheel

checked as soon as possible.

have the punctured wheel repaired

and reﬁt it to the vehicle as soon as

possible.

This helps to keep the boot ﬂoor in its

correct position, to prevent any de-

formation of the ﬂoor when loaded.

 Tighten the spare wheel securing

strap to prevent noise and for your

safety in the event of impact.

have the spare wheel checked and

replace it in its boot recess.

dling:
