IN AN EMERGENCY
208
The spare wheel (for ver-
sions/markets where re-
quired) is specific to your model of
car; do not use it on other models,
or use the spare wheel of other
models on your car.
Should the type of wheels used be
changed (alloy rims instead of
steel), it is also necessary to re-
place the complete kit of fastening
bolts with others of suitable size.
The compact spare wheel should
only be used in an emergency and
even then its use should be kept to
a minimum. Do not drive at speeds
of over 80 km/h.
WARNING
On the compact spare
wheel there a sticker with
the main warnings regarding the
compact spare wheel use and lim-
itations. The sticker shall never be
removed or covered. The sticker
bears the following instructions in
four languages:
ATTENTION! ONLY FOR TEMPO-
RARY USE! 80 km/h MAX! RE-
PLACE IT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
WITH A STANDARD WHEEL. DO
NOT COVER THIS INDICATION.
No wheel cap shall be placed on
the compact spare wheel.
The car will handle differently
when the spare wheel is fitted.
Avoid sudden acceleration or brak-
ing, sharp corners and fast bends.
WARNING
The life of the spare wheel
is approx. 3,000 km. After
this distance it should be replaced
with another of the same type.
Never attempt to fit a tradition-
al tyre to a rim designed for use as
compact spare wheel. Have the
punctured wheel repaired and re-
placed as soon as possible.
Two or more compact spare
wheels should never be used to-
gether.
Do not grease the threads of the
bolts before installing them; they
might slip out.
The jack only serves for chang-
ing wheels on the car with which it
is provided or on cars of the same
model. It must not be used for oth-
er purposes such as for instance
raising cars of other models. In no
case should it be used for repairs
under the vehicle.
The vehicle may fall if the jack is
not positioned correctly.
Do not use the jack for higher ca-
pacities than stated on its label.
