CORRECT USE
OF THE CAR
IN AN
EMERGENCY
When driving with a space-
saver spare wheel fitted, the
driving performance of the car
changes. Avoid accelerating or brak-
ing sharply, abrupt turns or fast cor-
nerings. The life of the spare wheel
is approx. 3000 Km, after this dis-
tance it should be replaced with an-
other of the same type. Never at-
tempt 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 to-
gether. Do not grease the threads of
bolts before installing them: they
might slip out.
WARNING
The jack shall only be used
for changing wheels on the
car with which it is provided or on
cars of the same model.
It must not be used for other purpos-
es such as for instance raising cars of
other models. In no case should it be
used for repairs under the car. Incor-
rect positioning of the jack may cause
the jacked car to fall. Do not use the
jack for higher capacities than stated
on its label. Snow chains cannot be
fitted to the space-saver spare wheel.
So, if a front (drive) wheel is punc-
tured and chains are needed, a rear
wheel should be fitted to the front of
the car and the spare wheel should be
fitted to the rear. This way with two
normal drive wheels, snow chains can
be fitted to them to solve an emer-
gency.
WARNING
Fasten the wheel cap cor-
rectly to prevent the wheel
from coming free in motion. Never
tamper with the inflation valve. Nev-
er place tools between the rim and
tyre. Check and restore, if required,
the pressure of tyres and spare wheel
to the values given in section “Tech-
nical Specifications”.
