CAUTION
l
The pressure should be periodically
checked and maintained at the specified
pressure while the tyre is stowed.
Driving with an insufficient tyre pressure
can lead to an accident. If you have no
choice but to drive with an insufficient
tyre pressure, keep your speed down and
inflate the tyre to the correct pressure as
soon as possible. (Refer to “Tyre inflation
pressures” on page 8-14.)
Compact spare wheel*
The
compact spare tyre is designed to save space in
the luggage compartment and its lighter weight
makes it easier to use if a flat tyre occurs.
CAUTION
l
The
compact spare wheel is for tempora-
ry use only and should be removed as
soon as the original wheel can be re-
paired or replaced.
l
The vehicle must not be driven at speeds
in excess of 80 km/h (50 mph) while using
the compact spare wheel.
l
The compact spare tyre is not as good as
a standard tyre in controllability and sta-
bility. When the compact spare tyre is
used, avoid quick starts, sudden braking
and sharp steering.
l
The compact spare wheel is specifically de-
signed for your vehicle and it should not
be used on any other vehicle.
CAUTION
l
Do not use tyre chains with your compact
spare wheel. Because of the smaller tyre
size, a tyre chain will not fit properly.
This could cause damage to the wheel
and result in loss of the chain.
If a front tyre becomes flat when using
tyre chains, first replace a rear wheel
with the compact spare wheel and then
use the removed rear wheel to replace the
flat front wheel so that you can continue
to use the chains.
CAUTION
l
Upon
installation of the compact spare
tyre, the ground clearance is reduced as
the tyre is smaller in diameter than the
standard tyre. When passing over the pro-
jections on the road, take care not to dam-
age the vehicle’s undercarriage.
CAUTION
l
Do not install more than one compact
spare wheel at the same time.
To remove the spare tyre
E00803500265
1. Lift up the board.
2. To
remove the spare tyre, remove the instal-
lation clamp (A) by turning it anticlockwise.
NOTE
l
Put
the spare wheel under the vehicle body
near the jack. This makes it safer if the jack
slips out of position.
