Refi tting
1.
Engage the wheel on the hub.
2.
Screw in the bolts but do not fully tighten them.
3.
Lower the jack and remove it.
4.
Tighten the wheel bolts, using the wheelbrace.
5.
Refi t the embellisher, taking care to accommodate the tyre valve. For
vehicles equipped with aluminium rims, refi t the wheel bolt protectors.
6.
Have the original wheel repaired and refi tted as soon as possible.
7.
Make sure that the tyre is at the correct pressure (see “Vehicle Iden-
tifi cation” and “User Precautions”) and have the wheel balancing
checked.
Dimension of the spare wheel
If your spare wheel is of a dimension different to that of the wheels normally
fi tted on your vehicle (identifi ed by a label), it is essential to use the spare
wheel only on a temporary basis, to drive carefully, not to exceed 80 km/h
(50 mph), to have the original wheel refi tted as soon as possible and never to drive with more than one spare wheel
of a different dimension fi tted on your vehicle.
Never get underneath the vehicle if it is supported only by the jack.
When changing a wheel, it is essential to park the vehicle safely on level and stable ground.
Wheel for temporary use
If your vehicle has light alloy wheel rims but a steel spare wheel, if you fi t
the latter it is normal to notice that the wheel bolts do not appear to contact
on the rim.
The spare wheel is secured by the conical tapering of the wheel bolt’s shaft
(See illustration).
when refi tting the light alloy wheel, make sure that the tapering contact faces
of the wheel bolts are clean and in good condition.
