Safety First Operating instructions Practical tips Technical Data

Compact temporary spare wheel* (emergency wheel)

The compact spare wheel (emergency wheel for vehicles

without the anti-puncture kit) should only be used when

strictly necessary.

The temporary spare wheel is stored under the floor panel in the luggage

compartment and is attached by a thumbnut.

How to use the compact temporary spare wheel

Should you ever have a punctured tyre, the compact temporary spare wheel

is only intended for temporary use until you can reach a workshop. The

standard-size road wheel should be replaced as soon as possible.

Please note the following restrictions when using the compact temporary

spare wheel. This spare wheel has been specially designed for your vehicle,

thus, it cannot be changed with the spare wheel from another vehicle.

No other type of tyre (normal summer or winter tyre) may be fitted on the

compact temporary spare wheel rim.

Snow chains

For technical reasons, snow chains must not be used on the compact tempo-

rary spare wheel.

If you should have a puncture on one of the front wheels when using snow

chains, fit the compact temporary spare in place of one of the rear wheels.

You can then attach the snow chains to the wheel taken from the rear and use

this wheel to replace the punctured front wheel.

WARNING

• The tyre pressures must be checked and corrected as soon as possible.

The emergency tyre pressure for dimensions 125/70R16 125/70R18

135/90R16 is 4.2 bar; for all other tyre dimensions please refer to the label

on the fuel cap. Failure to do so could result in an accident.

• Do not drive faster than 80 km/h. Higher speeds can cause an accident.

• Avoid heavy acceleration, hard braking and fast cornering. Risk of acci-

dent.

• Never use two or more compact spare tyres at the same time, risk of

accident.

• No other type of tyre (normal summer or winter tyre) may be fitted on

the compact temporary spare wheel rim.

Note

• Vehicles with Brembo brakes must never use emergency wheels. These

vehicles are supplied with a tyre repair kit.
