ADVICE FOR EMERGENCY SITUATIONS
Replacing a wheel
Important note
If one or more wheels need to be replaced, proceed as follows:
• replace the wheel stud bolts with damaged threads or tapers
• carefully clean the wheel stud bolts before fitting
• do not lubricate the contact surfaces between the stud bolt and the
wheel rim and between the wheel rim and the brake disk.
In order not to remove the antilock coating, do not clean the wheel rim
cones with solvents or aggressive products.
collapsible spare wheel (in the countries where available)
On request, the vehicle comes with a kit containing:
●
collapsible spare wheel A with space-saving tyre; label B indicates
the maximum speed allowed of 80 km/h.
●
additional tool bag C containing the jack for raising the vehicle and
the socket wrenches for operating the jack and tightening the wheel
stud bolts.
Warning
The spare wheel must only be used for short trips in the event of an
emergency. When the spare wheel is fitted, never exceed the maximum
speed of 80 km/h and drive carefully, especially around bends and when
overtaking, avoiding sudden acceleration or braking. Do not exceed
the approved weight limits. Do not fit snow chains on the spare wheel.
Never fit more than one spare wheel at a time.
Important note
Failure to comply with these instructions could lead to loss of control of
the vehicle and consequently damage to the vehicle and injuries to its
occupants.
