Changing a wheel
If you have a puncture on one of the front
wheel
s when using snow chains, fit the tempo-
rary spare wheel in place of one of the rear
wheels. Fit the snow chains on the rear wheel
that you have removed and replace the punc-
tured front wheel with this wheel.
WARNING
Keep in mind that the standard wheel is wider
than the emer
gency spare wheel, so the 3rd
row of seats cannot be completely lowered
when that standard wheel is placed in the
emergency spare wheel well.
●
Do not drive if the 3rd row of seats is not
correctly fastened by the anchors. Risk of se-
rious injury.
WARNING
●
After fitting the t
emporary spare wheel,
check the tyre pressures as soon as possible.
Failure to do so may cause an accident. The
tyre pressure is listed on the back of the left
front door frame ›››page349.
●
Do not drive at over 80km/h (50mph)
when the temporary spare wheel is fitted on
the vehicle: risk of accident!
●
Never travel more than 200km using a
temporary spare wheel.
●
Avoid heavy acceleration, hard braking
and fast cornering: risk of accident!
●
Never use more than one temporary spare
wheel at the same time, risk of accident.
●
No other type of tyre (normal summer or
winter tyre) may be fitted on the compact
temporary spare wheel rim.
●
If you are driving using the spare wheel,
the ACC system could automatically switch
o during the journey. Switch o the system
when starting o.
