Practical advice - 135
|
Note: Ensure that the
emergency spare wheel or
punctured wheel are cor-
rectly positioned. Check that the
boot carpet is correctly positioned
in its bump stops to prevent it
from being damaged.
Note: Do not fit the wheel
cover if the emergency
spare wheel is fitted to the
vehicle.
Warnings
If the emergency spare
wheel has been stored
for several years, have it
checked by your Dealer
to ensure that it is safe to use.
Vehicle fitted with an emer
gency spare wheel that differs
from the other wheels :
– Never fit more than one emer-
gency spare wheel to the same
vehicle.
– The punctured wheel is wider
than the emergency spare wheel,
so the height of the vehicle
ground clearance is reduced.
– Replace the emergency spare
wheel as soon as possible with a
wheel identical to the original one.
– When this is fitted to the vehi-
cle, which must only be a tempo-
rary measure, the driving speed
must not exceed the speed indi-
cated on the label on the wheel.
– Fitting an emergency spare
wheel may alter the way the vehi-
cle usually runs.
Avoid sudden acceleration or de-
celeration and reduce your speed
when cornering.
