Spare wheel
Your vehicle is equipped with a spare
wheel with collapsible tire. The spare
wheel is located underneath the cargo
compartment floor.
Warning!
G
The dimensions of the spare wheel are dif-
ferent from those of the road wheels. As a
result, the vehicle handling characteristics
change when driving with a spare wheel
mounted.
The spare wheel should only be used tempo-
rarily, and should be replaced with a regular
road wheel as quickly as possible.
