WARNING

If you change the type of wheel (alloy
rims instead of steel rims and vice versa)

you will have to change the entire set of
fastening bolts with another set of suitably sized
bolts.

WARNING

Alert other drivers that the car is
stationary in compliance with local

regulations: hazard warning lights, warning
triangle, etc. Any passengers on board should
leave the car, especially if it is heavily laden.
Passengers should stay away from on-coming
traffic while the wheel is being changed. On hills
or uneven roads, use chocks or appropriate
objects to block the wheels of the vehicle.

WARNING

The vehicle's driving characteristics will
be modified with the space-saver wheel

fitted. Avoid sudden starting or stopping, sharp
or fast turns.The total life of a space-saver
wheel is approximately 3,000 km, after which it
must be replaced by another wheel of the
same type. Never attempt to fit a conventional
tyre on a rim designed for use as a space-saver
wheel. Have the tire repaired and refitted as
soon as possible.Two or more space-saver
wheels should never be used together. Do not
grease the threads of bolts before fitting them:
they might slip out.
