Fitting a wheel
Fitting a steel or "space-
saver" spare wheel
If your vehicle is fi tted with al-
loy wheels, when tightening the
bolts on fi tting it is normal to
notice that the washers do not
come into contact with the steel
or "space-saver" spare wheel.
The wheel is secured by the
conical contact of each bolt.
After changing a wheel
To store the punctured wheel in the boot
correctly, fi rst remove the central cover.
When using the "space-saver" type
spare wheel, do not exceed 50 mph
(80 km/h).
Have the tightening of the bolts and
the pressure of the spare wheel

qualifi ed workshop without delay.
Have the punctured wheel repaired
and replace it on the vehicle as soon
as possible.
