Spare tyre inflation (see Fig. R12)
1. ,Lift the carpet on the luggage compartment
floor to expose the rubber plug.
2. Remove the plug to gain access to the tyre
valve.
3. Adjust the tyre pressure as necessary.
Spare wheel stowage
If attention is drawn to a rattle from the rear of the
car, it may be that the spare wheel carrier is
incorrectly adjusted, thus allowing slight movement
of the spare wheel under its clamping arrangement.
Adjustment can be effected by slackening the
nut and bolt connecting the carrier to the operating
tube which forms the rear suspension point of the
carrier. As this bolt passes through a slotted hole
in the operating tube, it will then be possible to
move the carrier to a position which will allow the
tyre to be correctly clamped. Tighten the nut and
bolt after adjustment.
