properly positioned in its housing.
Undo the bolts and take the wheel

mounting holes for the wheel and
the hub are aligned.

Put the flat tyre in the boot. Do
not attach it to the underbody.
If the spare wheel has been
stored for several years, have it
checked by your Dealer to ensure
that it is safe to use.
