Where will I find ...?
̈ Place storage well casing 2 over the
luggage bowl 5 and turn retaining

temporarily use the Minispare wheel when
observing the following restrictions:
ț Do not exceed a vehicle speed of
50 mph (80 km/h).
ț Drive to the nearest tire repair facility
to have the flat tire repaired or
replaced as appropriate.
ț Do not operate vehicle with more than
one Minispare wheel mounted.

Arrow 3 on luggage bowl 5 must
point in the direction of travel. Other-
wise you cannot place the storage well
casing 2 on top and secure the
Minispare wheel with the retaining
screw 1.
Warning!
G
The dimensions of the Minispare wheel are
different from those of the road wheels. As
a result, the vehicle handling characteristics
change when driving with a Minispare wheel
mounted.
The Minispare wheel should only be used
temporarily, and should be replaced with a
regular road wheel as quickly as possible.
