Wheels and Tyres Guide - Edition 01.2011
Note
♦ Instead of a spare wheel of this kind, vehicles may have a
spare wheel with the sticker described above (depending on
equipment level).
♦ The spare wheel or temporary spare wheel is intended only
for temporary use over short distances. Therefore, it must be
replaces by a normal wheel as quickly as possible.
♦ After the temporary or spare wheel has been fitted, the tyre
pressure must be checked as soon as possible. The correct
tyre pressure can be gleaned from the tyre pressure table in
the respective vehicle or the relevant maintenance manual.
♦ Always observe the speed warning on the temporary spare
wheel („MAX 80 km/h“ or „MAX 50 mph“).
♦ Full acceleration, hard braking and driving fast through curves
should be avoided.
♦ Never drive with more than one spare wheel or temporary
spare wheel.
♦ The use of snow chains on the temporary spare wheel is not
permitted for technical reasons.
♦ If it is necessary to travel with snow chains, the temporary
spare wheel must be fitted on the rear axle even if the front
tyre has been damaged. The wheel that is now free should be
fitted in place of the defective front wheel.
