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.
!
Wheel bolts
2 must be used when mount-
ing the Minispare wheel. The use of any wheel
bolts other than wheel bolts
2 for the Minispare
wheel will physically damage the vehicle’s
brakes.
Warning!

Make sure to use the original length wheel
bolts when remounting the original wheel
after it has been repaired.
