The compact temporary spare wheel is only intended for temporary use over short distances. Have the damaged wheel checked as soon as possible by a qualified workshop and, if necessary, replaced.
Please note the following restrictions when using the compact temporary spare wheel. The compact temporary spare wheel is designed specifically for this model. For this reason, do not use a spare wheel from a different type of vehicle.
Removing the spare wheel
Turn the centre plastic knob Fig. 238►-1- anti-clockwise.
Take out the spare wheel.
Removing the jack
Lift open the trim on the right side of the luggage compartment and take out the jack.
Snow chains
For technical reasons, snow chains must not be used on the compact temporary spare wheel.
Should you have a puncture on one of the front wheels when using snow chains, fit the compact temporary spare wheel in place of one of the rear wheels. You can then attach the snow chains to the wheel taken from the rear and use this wheel to replace the punctured front wheel.
WARNING
- The tyre pressure must be checked as soon as possible after fitting the spare wheel – an incorrectly inflated tyre can increase the risk of accident. You can find the tyre pressures here Fig. ►.
- Do not drive faster than 80 km/h when the compact temporary spare wheel is fitted – higher speeds can cause an accident.
- Avoid heavy acceleration, hard braking and fast cornering when the compact temporary spare wheel is fitted – risk of accident!
- Never use two or more compact spare tyres at the same time – risk of accident!
- No other type of tyre (normal summer or winter tyres) may be fitted on the compact temporary spare wheel.
