Emergency wheel

placed.

Mount one emergency wheel only.
Also check the tire inflation pressure of the
emergency wheel in the cargo area regu-
larly, and correct it as needed.

mensions. When driving with an emer-

ties in the limit area. There is a risk of
accident. Drive moderately and do not ex-
ceed a speed of 50 mph/80 km/h.
