9 Warning
Rust or dirt on a wheel, or on the
parts to which it is fastened, can
cause the wheel nuts to become
loose with time. The wheel could
come off and cause an accident.
When changing a wheel, remove
any rust or dirt from places where
the wheel is attached to the
vehicle. In an emergency, a cloth
or a paper towel can be used;
however, use a scraper or wire
brush later to remove all rust or
dirt.
Lightly coat the centre of the wheel
hub with wheel bearing grease during
a wheel change to prevent corrosion
or rust build-up. Do not get grease on
the flat wheel mounting surface or on
the wheel nuts or bolts.
Spare wheel
Compact spare wheel
The spare wheel can be classified as
a temporary spare wheel depending
on the size compared to the other
mounted wheels and country
regulations.
The spare wheel has a steel rim.
Use of a spare wheel that is smaller
than the other wheels or together with
winter tyres could affect driveability.
Have the defective tyre replaced as
soon as possible.
