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

Warning!
G
The dimensions of the spare wheel 
(Minispare wheel or collapsible tire) are dif-
ferent from those of the road wheels. As a 
result, the vehicle handling characteristics 
change when driving with a spare wheel 
mounted.
The spare wheel should only be used tempo-
rarily, and replaced with a regular road 
wheel as quickly as possible.
