If the vehicle is equipped with a Sport brake,
the emergency wheel can only be mounted on
the rear axle. If there is tire damage on the
front axle, the emergency wheel must first be
fitted on the rear axle on the same side of the
vehicle. The intact wheel of the rear axle can
then be mounted on the front axle.
