BUMP STARTING
Never bump start the engine (by pushing,
towing or coasting downhill).
This could cause fuel to flow into the cat-
alytic converter and damage it beyond re-
pair.
IMPORTANT Remember that the servo-
brake and electrical power steering sys-
tem (where provided) are not operating
until the engine is started, a greater effort
will therefore be required to press the
brake pedal or turn the steering wheel.

EMERGENCY
The space-saver spare wheel
(where provided) is specific
to your car, do not use it on other
models, or use the spare wheel of oth-
er models on your car. The space-
saver spare wheel shall only be used
in an emergency. It shall only be used
for the distance necessary to reach a
service point and the car speed shall
not exceed 80 km/h. The spare wheel
has an orange sticker that summaris-
es the main cautions for use and lim-
itations. The sticker should never be
removed or covered. Never fit a wheel
cap on a space-saver spare wheel.
The sticker gives the following infor-
mation in four languages: Caution!
For temporary use only! 80 km/h max!
Replace by normal wheel as soon as
possible. Do not cover this label in
use.
If you change the type of wheel (al-
loy rims instead of steel rims) you will
have to change the entire set of fas-
tening bolts with another set of suit-
ably sized bolts.

IMPORTANT Do not use inner tubes
with tubeless tyres. Check the inflation
pressure of the tyres and the spare wheel
regularly.
IMPORTANT You will need to change the
set of bolts if you want to change the type
of wheels fitted (alloy rims instead of steel
rims, and vice versa). You will have to
change the entire set of fastening bolts
with another set of suitably sized bolts and
adopt a specific spare wheel having differ-
ent building characteristics.
You should keep the bolts and spare
wheel in case you decide to use the orig-
inal type of wheel later on. ❒fasten the three other bolts with the
wrench provided;
❒lower the car and remove the jack;
❒fasten bolts completely, working in a
criss-cross fashion as shown in fig. 10.
