temporary spare wheel in your vehicle, please

ing system.
The accessory temporary spare wheel is pro-
vided in a bag that must be strapped in place
in the trunk while the vehicle is being driven.
Complete instructions are provided in an infor-
mation booklet found inside the bag.
The spare wheel is only intended for temporary
use. Replace it with a normal wheel as soon as
possible. The car's handling may be altered bythe use of the spare wheel. The correct tire
pressure for the spare wheel is stated in the tire
pressure tables beginning on page 263.

“Temporary Spare” tire other than as a tem-
porary replacement for a punctured tire. It
must be replaced as soon as possible by a
standard tire. Road holding and handling

Spare” in use.
