IN AN EMERGENCY
213
The spare wheel has a
sticker that summarises
the main cautions for use
and limitations. The sticker
should never be removed or cov-
ered. The sticker contains the fol-
lowing in four languages:
CAUTION! FOR TEMPORARY
USE ONLY! MAX 80 km/h!
REPLACE BY NORMAL WHEEL AS
SOON AS POSSIBLE. DO NOT
COVER THIS LABEL IN USE.
Never fit a wheel cap on a com-
pact spare wheel.
The vehicle will handle differ-
ently with the spare wheel fitted:
avoid heavy braking and acceler-
ating, sharp corners and fast
bends.
The life of the spare
wheel is approx. 3000
km, after this distance it
should be replaced with another
of the same type.
Never attempt to fit a conven-
tional tyre on a rim designed for
use as a compact spare wheel.
Have the punctured wheel
repaired and refitted as soon as
possible.
Two or more compact spare
wheels should never be used
together.
Do not grease the threads of
bolts before installing them; they
might slip out.
The jack only serves for chang-
ing wheels on the car with which
it is provided or on cars of the
same model. It must not be used
for other purposes such as for
instance raising cars of other
models. In no case should it be
used for repairs under the vehi-
cle.
Incorrect positioning of the jack
may cause the jacked vehicle to
fall.
Do not use the jack for higher
capacities than stated on its
label.
Snow chains cannot be
fitted on the compact
spare wheel, so, if a front
wheel is punctured and chains
need to be used, the front axle
should be fitted with normal
wheels and the compact spare
wheel fitted to the rear. This
way, with two normal wheels at
the front, snow chains can be fit-
ted thereby solving the emer-
gency situation.
Never tamper with the inflation
valve.
Do not insert tools of any kind
between the rim and the tyre.
Check, and if necessary, restore
the pressure of the tyres and of
the compact spare wheel to the
values given in the “Technical
Specifications” chapter.
