STARTING
AND DRIVING
IN AN
EMERGENCY
The spare wheel is specific
for your car. Do not use it
on cars of different models. Do not
use spare wheels of different mod-
els on your car. The space saver
spare wheel must only be used in
case of emergency. Use only for as
long as strictly necessary and drive
at a speed slower than
80 km/h. An orange label is affixed
on the spare wheel summarising
instructions and limitations for
use. Never remove or cover the la-
bel. Never apply a wheel cup on a
space saver spare. The following
information is provided in four
languages on the label: Warning!
Suitable for temporary use only!
80 km/h max! Replace with a
standard wheel as soon as possi-
ble. Do not cover this label.
WARNING
The driving features of the
car may change when a
space saver spare wheel is fitted.
Avoid sudden acceleration and
braking, sudden steering and fast
cornering. The total life of a space
saver spare wheel is approxi-
mately 3000 km, after which it
must be replaced by another wheel
of the same type. Never install a
traditional tyre on a space saver
spare wheel rim. Repair and refit
the standard wheel as soon as pos-
sible. Only one space saver spare
can be used at a time. Do not ap-
ply grease to the bolt threading be-
fore assembly: the bolts could come
loose unexpectedly.
WARNING
The jack may only be used
to replace wheels on the
car which it equips or other cars of
the same model. Never use the jack
for other purposes, such as lifting
other car models. Never use the
jack to carry out repairs under the
car. Incorrect positioning of the
jack may cause the car to fall. Do
not use the jack for loads higher
than those shown on the label.
Snow chains cannot be fitted on a
space saver spare wheel. There-
fore, if a front wheel (drive wheel)
is punctured and you need to use
snow chains, swap with a rear
wheel. In this way, you will have
two normal wheels on the front on
which you can fit snow chains and
solve the emergency.
