10. SPARE WHEEL
Tire failure is a rare event if tires are properly
cared for. In case of a flat tire, move vehicle a
safe distance away from traffic and apply
parking brake. Remember to use the hazard
flashers and according to the Highway Code
regulations, set up the triangular reflectors (see
"Emergency Warning Reflectors" in the
Operator's Manual) at an adequate distance, to
warn incoming motorists. This kit is located at
the ceiling of the first baggage compartment, on
the R.H. side.
