WARNINGThe space-saver spare wheel (where provided) is specific to your car, do not use it
on other models, or use the spare wheel of other models on your vehicle. The
space-saver spare wheel shall only be used in an emergency. It shall only be used
for the distance necessary to reach a service point and the car speed shall not
exceed 80 km/h. The spare wheel has an orange sticker that summarises the main
cautions for use and limitations. The sticker should never be removed or covered.
Never fit a wheel cap on a space-saver spare wheel. The sticker gives the following
information in four languages: caution! For temporary use only! 80 km/h max!
Replace by normal wheel as soon as possible. Do not cover this label in use.
If changing standard wheels (e.g.: wheels with alloy rims in place of steel rims)
change also all wheel bolts.
WARNINGWhen driving with a space-saver spare wheel fitted, the driving performance of the
car changes. Avoid accelerating or braking sharply, abrupt turns or fast cornerings.
The life of the spare wheel is approx. 3000 km, after this distance it should be
replaced with another of the same type. Never attempt to fit a conventional tyre
on a rim designed for use as a space-saver spare wheel. Have the punctured wheel
repaired and refitted as soon as possible. Two or more space-saver spare wheels
should never be used together. Do not grease the threads of bolts before installing
them: they might slip out.
