Wheels
temporary spare wheel has been specially
designed f
or your v
ehicl
e, thus, it cannot be
changed with the temporary spare wheel
from another vehicle.
No other type of tyre (normal summer or win-
ter tyre) may be fitted on the compact tem-
porary spare wheel rim.
Snow chains
For technical reasons, snow chains must not
be used on the temporary spare wheel.
If you have a puncture on one of the front
wheels when using snow chains, fit the tem-
porary 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
punctured front wheel with this 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 acci-
dent.

Winter service
Wint
er t
yr
es
In winter conditions winter tyres will consider-
ably improv
e the vehicle's handling. The de-
sign of summer tyres (width, rubber com-
pound, tread pattern) gives less grip on ice
and snow.
Winter tyres must be inflated to a pressure
of 0.2 bar (2.9 psi/20 kPa) higher than the
pressures specified for summer tyres (see the
sticker on the back of the left front door
frame).
Winter tyres must be fitted on all four wheels.
Information on permitted winter tyre sizes
can be found in the vehicle's registration doc-
umentation. Use only radial winter tyres. All
tyre sizes listed in the vehicle documentation
also apply to winter tyres.
Winter tyres lose their effectiveness when the
tread is worn down to a depth of 4 mm.
The speed rating code
