In an Emergency
Using the Compact Spare
Wheel
NOTE:
The compact spare wheel is supplied in
aluminium or steel: the pictures show
the one in aluminium.
The compact spare wheel is stored in
the boot and is supplied deflated in
order to limit the amount of space
occupied. An electric compressor is also
provided for inflating. In the event of
a tire puncture, proceed as follows.
• Stop the vehicle in a place that does
not constitute a danger to traffic and
where the wheel can be changed
safely.
• Select the P (Park) mode and then
engage manually the electric parking
brake and move the ignition device
to OFF position.
• If necessary, turn the hazard warning
lights on and place the warning
triangle at the required distance.
WARNING!
•
The vehicle must be level and on
firm ground during the vehicle
lifting operations. The use of chock
contained in the tool kit is always
mandatory. In case of slight slope
(less than 10%), place the chock in
front of (downhill) or behind (uphill)
the wheel diagonally opposite the
one to be replaced. In case of higher
slope (more than 10%), call the
Assistance Service and avoid any
operation.
•
The jack should be used on level firm
ground wherever possible.
•
It is recommended that the wheels
of the vehicle be chocked, and that
no person should remain in a vehicle
that is being jacked.
•
Never start or run the engine with
the vehicle on a jack.
• Before placing the chock, it is
necessary to open it like a book as
shown in the picture.
