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.
  • 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 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.
  • If you need to use snow chains, fit the emergency spare wheel to the rear axle and check the tyre pressure.
