Opel FRONTERA 2024 - Spare Wheel; Fitting the Spare Wheel

The front arm position of the lifting
platform is centrically under the relevant
vehicle jacking point.
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. In this
case a permissible maximum speed
applies, even though no label at the
spare wheel indicates this.
If there is a label on the spare wheel, the
permissible speed still depends on the
country regulations.
Only mount one temporary spare wheel.
Take curves slowly. Do not use for a long
period of time.
Caution
The use of a spare wheel that is smaller
than the other wheels or in combination
with winter tires could affect driveability.
Have the defective tire replaced as
soon as possible.
Depending on version the spare wheel is
located in the load compartment beneath
the floor covering or in a holder beneath
the vehicle floor.
To remove:
1. Open the floor cover.
2. Unclip the toolbox
Vehicle tools ð page 153.
3. The spare wheel is secured with a
wing nut. Unscrew nut and take out
the spare wheel.
4. If, after a wheel change, no wheel is
placed in the spare wheel well, fasten
the wing nut and close the floor cover.
5. After a wheel change back to a full
size wheel, place the spare wheel
outside up in the well and secure with
the wing nut.

standing is soft, a solid board (max. 1
cm thick) should be placed under the
jack.
