P4Q00091
Do not fit snow chains
on a space-saver spare
wheel. If a front wheel
(drive wheel) is punctured and
you require snow chains to pro-
ceed, take a standard wheel from
the rear axle and fit the space-
saver spare wheel in its place.
Having fitted two standard
wheels on the front drive axle,
you can use snow chains, thus
solving the emergency situation.
The jack should only be
used to change a wheel
on the car for which it
was designed. It should not be
put to other uses or employed to
raise other models of cars. Under
no circumstances should it be
used when carrying out repairs
under the car.
An incorrectly positioned jack
may cause the car to fall.
Do not use the jack for loads
over the value indicated on the
plate.
Fasten the wheel cap correctly
to prevent the wheel from com-
ing free in motion.
Never tamper with the inflation
valve.
Never place tools between the
rim and tyre.
Check the tyre and space-saver
spare wheel pressure regularly.
The tyre inflation pressure is
shown in the
TECHNICAL SPECIFI -
CATIONS chapter.
Never fit a traditional
tyre on a space-saver
spare wheel rim. Have
the replace wheel repair and re-
fitted as soon as possible.
Never use two or more spare
wheels at the same time.
Do not lubricate the bolt
threads before fitting them back:
they could come loose.
