Notes on the use of temporary spare wheels |
Notify your customers of the following information whenever necessary, and refer them to the Owner's Manual. |
The information given below also applies to spare wheels which have a yellow sticker specifying „MAX 80 km/h“ or „MAX 50 mph“. |
Note t
| The spare wheel/temporary spare wheel is designed to be used only for a brief period. It should therefore be replaced with the normal wheel as soon as possible. |
t
| The tyre pressure should be checked as soon as possible after fitting the spare wheel/temporary spare wheel. Refer to the tyre pressure specifications on the vehicle or to the Maintenance manual for the correct tyre pressures. |
t
| Do not exceed the maximum speed stated on the spare wheel („MAX 80 km/h“ or „MAX 50 mph“). |
t
| Avoid full acceleration, heavy braking and fast cornering. |
t
| Never drive the vehicle with more than one spare wheel/temporary spare wheel. |
t
| It is not permitted to use snow chains on the spare wheel for technical reasons. |
t
| If you need to use snow chains, you should therefore fit the spare wheel on the rear axle if the puncture occurred on a front tyre. The good wheel removed from the rear axle should then be fitted in place of the punctured front wheel. |
