REPLACING A WHEELGENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
The car can be delivered (upon request/where provided)
with standard spare wheel or space-saver wheel; see
changing instructions on the following paragraphs. Wheel
changing and correct use of the jack and spare wheel call
for some precautions as listed below.
The space-saver wheel (where provided) is
specific to your car, do not use it on other
models, nor use the spare wheel of other models
on your car. The space-saver wheel must only be
used in case of 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 apply
a wheel cup on a space-saver wheel. The sticker
gives the following information in four languages:
Caution! For temporary use only! 80 km/h max.!
Replace by standard wheel as soon as possible. Do
not cover this label in use. If you change the type
of wheel (alloy rims instead of steel rims) you will
have to change the entire set of fastening bolts with
another set of suitably sized bolts.
WARNING
Alert other drivers that the car is station-
ary in compliance with local regulations:
hazard warning lights, warning triangle, etc. Any
passengers on board should leave the car, espe-
cially if it is heavily laden. Passengers should stay
away from on-coming traffic while the wheel is
being changed. If parked on a slope or rough sur-
face, chock the wheels with wedges or other suit-
able devices.
WARNING
The driving features of the car may change
when a space-saver wheel is fitted. Avoid
sudden acceleration and braking, sudden steering
and fast cornering. The total life of a space-saver
wheel is approximately 3000 km, after which it
must be replaced by another wheel of the same
type. Never attempt to fit a conventional tyre on
a rim designed for use as a space-saver wheel.
Have the punctured wheel repaired and replaced
as soon as possible. Two or more space-saver
wheels should never be used together. Do not
grease the threads of bolts before installing them:
they might slip out.
