Dimension of the spare wheel
If your spare wheel has dimen-sions different from those of the normal vehicle wheels (identifi ed by a label), it is imperative to use the spare wheel only temporarily, to drive with caution, not to exceed 80 km/h (50 mph) and to have the tyre repaired and the normal wheel refi tted as soon as possible.
Tyre pressures
This is indicated on the label on the front door pillar. See “Vehicle iden-tifi cation” and “User Precautions”.
Light alloy wheels
If your vehicle has light alloy wheel rims but a steel spare wheel, if you fi t the latter it is normal to notice that the wheel bolts do not appear to contact on the rim.
The spare wheel is secured by the conical tapering of the wheel bolt’s shaft (See illustration).
when refi tting the light alloy wheel, make sure that the tapering contact faces of the wheel bolts are clean and in good condition.
Never get underneath the vehicle if it is supported only by the jack.
When changing a wheel, it is essential to park the vehicle safely on level and stable ground.
