General information
If you use winter tyres

, the spare
wheel may still be fitted with a
summer tyre.
If you use the spare wheel when it is
fitted with a summer tyre, the
vehicle's driveability may be affected,
especially on slippery road surfaces.
Obtain a replacement for the faulty
tyre as soon as possible, and have
the wheel balanced and fitted to the
vehicle.
Using a temporary spare wheel
may change the driving behaviour
of the vehicle, particularly if using
winter tyres

. Replace defective
tyre as quickly as possible, balance
wheel and fit to vehicle.
Fit only one temporary spare
wheel.
Do not drive faster than 50 mph
(80 km/h).

wheel for a lengthy period.
