Starting and driving

Driving considerations
with compact spare
wheel/tire fitted

The following should be observed when the
compact spare wheel (T115/70 R16) is
fitted:

• The compact spare is light and easy to

handle when changing the wheel.

• Do not drive further than necessary with

the compact spare fitted – the maximum
life of the wheel is only just over
2000 miles (3,500 km).

• Refit the standard tire as soon as possi-

ble.

Important considerations when driving with
a compact spare tire:

• The car’s ground clearance is reduced.
• The car must not be driven with more than

one compact tire at a time.

• Avoid driving against a curb.
• Do not use snow chains.
• Do not fit the wheel cover - this would con-

ceal the warning text.

WARNING

• Do not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h) as

the tire can overheat and adversely
affect the handling of the car.

• Tire pressure: refer to page 279.

• The spare wheel or punctured tire

must be stowed under the trunk floor,
and secured in place with the retaining
nut.

NOTICE

To avoid damaging a punctured alloy
wheel it can be placed outside up in the
spare-wheel well but only while driving to
the closest workshop.

A general rule is that all heavy loads must
be well secured in the luggage compart-
ment, see page 137 and 140.
