Temporary spare wheel
The temporary spare wheel is located in
the luggage compartment below the floor
cover and is secured with a screw-in
retainer.
Push both levers on the floor cover towards
the handle and pull up floor cover by the
handle (see page 176, Fig. S 13700). Hang
the hook to the upper part of the tailgate
opening (see page 63, Fig. S 13419).
Remove the retainer by rotating it anti-
clockwise, and remove spare wheel from
the spare wheel well. General information
If you use winter tyres
3, the spare wheel
may still be fitted with a summer tyre.
If you use the spare wheel when it is fitted
with a summer tyre, the vehicle's
driveability may be affected, especially on
slippery road surfaces.
Obtain a replacement for the faulty tyre as
soon as possible, and have the wheel
balanced and fitted to the vehicle.

Notes on temporary spare wheel
zUsing a temporary spare wheel may
change the driving behaviour of the
vehicle, particularly if using winter
tyres 3. Replace defective tyre as quickly
as possible, balanc e wheel and fit to
vehicle.
z Fit only one temporary spare wheel.
z Do not drive faster than 80 km/h
(50 mph).
z Take curves slowly.
z Do not use the temporary spare wheel
for a lengthy period.
z Replace temporary spare wheel with full
specification wheel without delay.
z When temporary spare wheel is fitted, do
not take the vehicle through an
automatic car wash with guide rails. The
temporary spare wheel may get caught
on the rails, causing damage to the tyre,
wheel and other vehicle parts.
z Tyre chains are not permitted on the
temporary spare wheel.
If tyre chains are necessary after a front
wheel puncture, fit the temporary spare
wheel to the rear and a rear wheel to the
front. Check tyre pressure and adjust if
necessary - see page 224.
z Follow the temporary spare wheel
instructions on pages 153, 181, 223. Notes on directional tyres
3
Tyres with a prescribed rotating direction
can only achieve their maximum
performance if they are fitted in the
prescribed rotating direction.
If a tyre or spare wheel is fitted that is
rotating in the wrong direction due to a
puncture, the following must be noted:
z The handling of the vehicle may be
different. Replace defective tyres as soon
as possible, have wheel balanced and
fitted to the vehicle.
z Do not drive faster than 80 km/h
(50 mph).
z Drive particularly carefully on wet and
snow-covered road surfaces.
z For more information on tyres with a
prescribed rotating direction -
see page 149.Wheel changing
In order to reduce the chance of possible
injuries, make the following preparations
and note the procedure:
zPark on a level, firm and non-slippery
surface.
z Switch on hazard warning lamps and
apply hand brake. Engage 1st gear or
reverse (automatic transmission 3 in P).
z Correctly set up warning triangle 3.
z Ensure all vehicle passengers are out of
the vehicle and clear of the vehicle and
other traffic.
z Take the spare wheel from under the
luggage compartment floor cover -
see page 177.
z Before raising the vehicle, turn front
wheels to straight-ahead position.

Tyres
Restrictions
Not all tyres available on the market
currently meet the structural requirements.
We recommend that you consult an Opel
Partner concerning su itable tyre makes.
These tyres have undergone special tests
to establish their reliability, safety and
specific suitability for Opel vehicles.
Despite continuous market monitoring, we
are unable to assess these attributes for
other tyres, even if they have been granted
approval by the relevant authorities or in
some other form.
Further information - see page 149.
Winter tyres 3
Tyres of size 235/55 R 18 are not to be used
as winter tyres. Tyres of size 215/70 R 16,
235/60 R 17 and 235/65 R 17 may be used
as winter tyres.
Use of the spare wheel may alter vehicle
handling. Obtain a replacement for the
faulty tyre as soon as possible, and have
the wheel balanced and fitted to the
vehicle.
Further information - see page 152.

Restrictions
We recommend the use of Opel-tested
fine-mesh tyre chains that add no more
than 15 mm to the tyre tread and the
inboard sides (including chain lock).
Tyre chains are permitted only on tyres of
size 215/70 R 16. We recommend you
consult your Opel Partner.
Further information - see page 152.
