Sn ow c hain s
For technica l reasons, the use of snow chains on
the compact spare tire is not permitted.
If you have to drive with snow chains and a front
tire fa ils, mount the spare wheel in place of a
rear tire. Insta ll the snow cha ins on the rear tire
that you removed, and install that in p lace of the
front tire that failed.
A WARNING
-After installing a spare t ire, the tire pres­
sure must be checked as quickly as poss ible.
- Do not drive faster than 50 mph (80 km/h)
with a compact spare tire. Driving faster
than that increases the risk of an accident.
- To reduce the risk of an accident, avo id fu ll­
throttle acceleration, heavy braking, and
fast cornering with the compact spare t ire.
- To reduce the risk of an accident, never drive with more than one compact spare tire.
- Norma l summer or winter tires must not be
mounted on the compact spare wheel rim.
A WARNING
- Never use the spare tire if it is damaged or if
it is worn down to the tread wear indicators.
- If the spare tire is more than 6 years o ld,
use it only in an emergency and with ex­
treme caution and careful dr iving.
- The spare tire is intended on ly for tempora­
ry and short-term use. It should be replaced
320
as soon as possible with the normal whee l
and tire.
- For technical reasons, the use of tire chains
on the spare tire is not permitted. If it is
necessary to drive w ith tire chains, the spare
wheel must be mounted on the front axle in
the event of a flat in a rear t ire. The newly
ava ilable front wheel must then be installed
in place of the rear wheel w ith the flat tire.
Installing the tire chain befo re mounting
the wheel and tire is recommended.
- Loose items in the passenger compa rtment
can cause se rious personal injury during
ha rd braking or in an accident. Never store
the inflatable spare tire or jack and tools in
the passenger compartment .
