Snow chains
For technical reasons, snow chains must not be
used on the compact temporary spare wheel.
Should you have a puncture on one of the front
wheels when using snow chains, fit the compact
temporary spare wheel in place of one of the rear
wheels. You can then attach the snow chains to
the wheel taken from the rear and use this wheel
to replace the punctured front wheel.
A WARNING
- The tyre pressure must be checked as soon
as possible after fitting the spare wheel - an
incorrectly inflated tyre can increase the risk
of accident. You can find the tyre pressures
here
*page
307, Fig. 253.
- Do not drive faster than 80 km/h when the
compact temporary spare wheel is fitted -
higher speeds can cause an accident.
-Avoid heavy acceleration, hard braking and
fast cornering when the compact temporary
spare wheel is fitted - risk of accident!
- Never use two or more compact spare tyres
at the same time - risk of accident!
- No other type of tyre (normal summer or
winter tyres) may be fitted on the compact
temporary spare wheel.
