Temporary spare
The spare wheel

"Temporary Spare" should
only be used for the short time it takes to
repair or replace the normal tyre.
By law, it is only legal to use the spare wheel/
tyre temporarily in connection with damage to
a tyre. A wheel/tyre of this type should be
replaced with a normal wheel/tyre as soon as
possible.
Remember also that this tyre combined with
the normal tyres will affect driving character-
istics. The maximum speed with the "Tempo-
rary Spare" spare wheel is therefore 80 km/h.
NOTE! Only use the car’s own genuine
spare wheel! Tyres with other dimensions
may cause damage to your car. Only one
spare wheel may be used at a time.
