EMERGENCY SPARE WHEEL (continued)

– If the emergency spare wheel has been stored for several years, have it checked by your Dealer to ensure that it is

safe to use.

– Vehicle fitted with an emergency spare wheel that is smaller than the other wheels.

Never fit more than one emergency spare wheel to the same vehicle.

When this is fitted, which must only be a temporary measure, driving speed should not exceed 48 mph (80 km/h).

Replace the emergency spare wheel as soon as possible with a wheel with the same dimensions as the original.

Fitting an emergency spare wheel may alter the way the vehicle usually runs. Avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration and

reduce your speed when cornering.

Fitting the damaged wheel into the emergency spare wheel housing will reduce the vehicle’s ground clearance: avoid driving

over any obstacles.

If you need to use snow chains, fit the emergency spare wheel to the rear axle and check the tyre pressure.
