Spare wheel
The spare wheel is only designed for temporary use. Replace it with a normal wheel as soon as possible.
The car's driving characteristics can be changed when the spare wheel is used and the ground clearance is reduced. Do not wash the car in an automatic car wash if the Temporary Spare is being used.
Recommended tyre pressure must be maintained regardless of the position of the temporary spare wheel on the car.
If the spare wheel is damaged, a new one can be purchased from a delivery centre.
Warning
- Never drive faster than 80 km/h (50 mph) with a spare wheel fitted to the car.
- The car must never be driven with more than one Temporary Spare type spare wheel fitted.
- The car may have different driving characteristics while driving with the spare wheel. The spare wheel must be replaced with a normal wheel as soon as possible.
- The spare wheel is smaller than the normal wheel, which affects the car's ground clearance. Pay attention to high kerbs and do not wash the car in an automatic car wash.
- Follow the tyre pressures recommended by the manufacturer for the spare wheel.
- On all-wheel drive cars, the drive on the rear axle can be disengaged.
- Snow chains cannot be used at the same time as the spare wheel is fitted on the front axle.
- The spare wheel must not be repaired.
Important
The car must not be driven with tyres of different dimensions or with a spare tyre other than the one the car is approved for. Using tyres of different dimensions can cause serious damage to the car's transmission due to the different rolling circumferences.
Cars designed for different front and rear tyre or wheel dimensions must have the same type and make of tyres on the front and rear axles.
