Compact temporary spare wheel

If provided as part of the vehicle's equipment, the compact temporary spare wheel is only intended for temporary use over short distances. The temporary spare wheel is stored under the floor panel in the luggage compartment and is attached by a thumbnut.

How to use the compact temporary spare wheel

Should you ever have a punctured tyre, the compact temporary spare wheel is only intended for temporary use until you can reach a workshop. The standard-size road wheel should be replaced as soon as possible. Please note the following restrictions when using the compact temporary spare wheel. This spare wheel has been specially designed for your vehicle, thus, it cannot be changed with the spare wheel from another vehicle. No other type of tyre (normal summer or winter tyre) may be fitted on the compact temporary spare wheel rim.

Snow chains

For technical reasons, snow chains must not be used on the compact temporary spare wheel.

If you should have a puncture on one of the front wheels when using snow chains, fit the compact temporary spare in place of one of the rear wheels. You can then attach the snow chains to the wheel taken from the rear and use this wheel to replace the punctured front wheel.

WARNING

• The tyre pressures must be checked and corrected as soon as possible.

• Do not drive faster than 80 km/h. Higher speeds can cause an accident.

• Avoid heavy acceleration, hard braking and fast cornering, risk of accident.

• Never use two or more compact spare tyres at the same time, risk of accident.

• No other type of tyre (normal summer or winter tyre) may be fitted on the compact temporary spare wheel rim.

WARNING

Tyre repair kit

The tyre repair kit (for vehicles not including a spare wheel) is stored under the floor panel in the luggage compartment. Your vehicle is equipped with the Tyre Mobility System “Tyre repair kit”. The tyre repair kit consists of a container with sealing compound to repair the puncture and a compressor to generate the required tyre pressure. The kit will reliably seal punctures up to a size of about 4 mm caused by the penetration of a foreign body into the tyre.

Note

• Seek professional assistance if the repair of a tyre puncture is not possible with the sealing compound.
