Practical hints
Where will I find...?
In the case of a flat tire, you may tempo-
rarily use the Minispare wheel when ob-
serving the following restrictions:
ț Do not exceed a vehicle speed of
50 mph (80 km/h).
ț Drive to the nearest tire repair facility
to have the flat tire repaired or re-
placed as appropriate.
ț Do not operate vehicle with more than
one Minispare wheel mounted.

Minispare wheel bolts
1 Wheel bolt for light alloy rims
2 Wheel bolt for Minispare wheel or other
steel rims (located in trunk with spare
wheel)
!
To prevent damage, always disengage
trunk floor handle from upper edge of
trunk and lower trunk floor before clos-
ing the trunk lid.
Warning! G
The dimensions of the Minispare wheel are
different from those of the road wheels. As
a result, the vehicle handling characteristics
change when driving with a Minispare wheel
mounted.
The Minispare wheel should only be used
temporarily, and should be replaced with a
regular road wheel as quickly as possible.
!
Wheel bolts 2 must be used when
mounting the Minispare wheel. The use
of any wheel bolts other than wheel
bolts 2 for the Minispare will physical-
ly damage the vehicle's brakes.
Warning! G
Make sure to use the original length wheel
bolts when remounting the original wheel af-
ter it has been repaired.
