WARNING!
• The spare wheel is narrower than
standard wheels and must only be
used to travel the distance required
to reach a service station, where the
punctured tire can be repaired or
replaced.
• Do not exceed a maximum speed of
50 mph (80 km/h) when using the
compact spare wheel; when this
limit is exceeded, the stability, road
holding and braking of the vehicle
will be compromised. Avoid
accelerating to full speed, heavy
braking and fast cornering.
• The compact spare wheel must be
inflated to the recommended tire
pressure (see “Tire Inflation
Pressure” in section “Features and
Specifications”).
• For safety reasons, it is absolutely
forbidden to drive with more than
one compact spare wheel fitted on
the vehicle.
• Snow chains cannot be fitted on the
compact spare wheel.
• The spare wheel can travel a
maximum of 1,800 mi (3.000 km).
To Refit the Standard Wheel with
Repaired or Replaced Tire
• Following the procedure and the
caution described above, raise the
vehicle and remove the compact
spare wheel reusing the supplied
wrench with adapter, suitably
extended.
• Fit the standard wheel with repaired
or replaced tire.
• Tighten the original bolts on the
wheel.
• Lower the vehicle and remove the
jack.
• Fully tighten the bolts, alternately
tightening diametrically opposite.
WARNING!
Observe the tightening torque for the
bolts securing the wheels (72 ± 7 lbf·ft
/ 98 ± 10 Nm). Check the correct
tightening torque as soon possible
contacting an Authorized Maserati
Dealer.
• Reassemble the center cover (if
equipped) on the wheel rim.
Once finished:
• completely deflate the compact
spare wheel by pressing on the valve
with the overhang of the valve cap;
