Wheels and tyres
GENERAL INFORMATION
CAUTIONS
Use only approved wheel and
tyre sizes. Using other sizes
could damage the vehicle and will
make the National Type Approval
invalid.
If you change the diameter of the
tyres from that fitted at the
factory, the speedometer may not
display the correct speed. Take the
vehicle to your dealer to have the
engine management system
reprogrammed.
A decal with tyre pressure data is
located in the driver’s door opening
at the B-pillar.
Check and set the tyre pressure at
the ambient temperature in which
you are intending to drive the vehicle
and when the tyres are cold.
CHANGING A ROAD
WHEEL
Spare wheel
If the spare wheel differs from the
other fitted wheels, these rules must
be followed:
WARNINGS
Do not exceed 80 km/h (50
mph).
Drive the shortest possible
distances before having the
spare wheel changed.
WARNINGS
Do not fit more than one spare
wheel on your vehicle at any
one time.
Do not use snow chains on this
type of wheel.
Note: The spare wheel is located
under the floor cover in the luggage
compartment.
Locking wheel nuts
You can obtain a replacement locking
wheel nut key and replacement
locking wheel nuts from your dealer
using the reference number
certificate.
Vehicle jack
WARNINGS
The vehicle jack supplied with
your vehicle should only be used
when changing a wheel in
emergency situations.
Before using the vehicle jack,
check that it is not damaged or
deformed and that the thread is
lubricated and free from foreign
matter.
Never place anything between
the jack and the ground, or the
jack and the vehicle.
Your vehicle jack and wheel brace
are located in the spare wheel well.
Note: Vehicles with a tyre repair kit
or run flat tyres are not equipped with
a vehicle jack or a wheel brace.
