Unhook the cargo floor before closing the lug-
gage compartment lid .
Snow chains
Using snow chains on the spare tire is not permit-
ted due to technical reasons.
If you have to drive with snow chains and a front
tire fa ils, mount the spare t ire in place of a rear
tire. I nstall the snow chains on the rear tire that
you removed , and insta ll that in place of the
front tire that f ailed.
A WARNING
-
- After installing a spare tire, the tire pres-
sure must be checked as quickly as possible.
- Do not drive faster than SO mph (80 km/h)
with a spare tire . Driving faster than that in-
creases the risk of an accident.
- Avoid full-throttle acceleration, heavy brak-
ing, and fast cornering, because this in-
creases the risk of an accident.
- Never drive using more than one spare tire,
because this increases the risk of an acci-
dent .
- Norma l t ires or winter tires must not be
mounted on the spare tire rim.
- Only use the coll apsible spare tire in emer-
gencies and dr ive very carefully, especially if
it is more than 6 years old.
