Vehicle equipped with an
emergency spare wheel that
differs from the other four
wheels:
– Never fit more than one
emergency spare wheel to the
same vehicle.
– Replace the emergency spare
wheel as soon as possible with a
wheel identical to the original one.
– When this is fitted to the
vehicle, which must only be a
temporary measure, the driving
speed must not exceed the speed
indicated on the label on the
wheel.
– Fitting an emergency spare
wheel may alter the way the
vehicle usually runs. Avoid
sudden acceleration or
deceleration and reduce your
speed when cornering.
