160 Vehicle care

Twin rear wheel vehicles have an

additional mounting plate attached to

the spare wheel. Before using the

wheel, undo the nut and remove the

mounting plate.

When reinstalling a spare wheel,

attach the mounting plate and secure

with the nut.

When installing a spare wheel, route

the cable from the back and through

the centre of the wheel. Attach the

retainer and pin, ensuring it is

correctly positioned and that the front

of the wheel will be facing

downwards. Tighten cable using the

wheel wrench and adapter until the

wheel is secured.

Summer and winter tyres

If you use winter tyres, the spare

wheel may still be fitted with a

summer tyre.

If you use the spare wheel when it is

fitted with a summer tyre the vehicle's

driveability may be affected,

especially on slippery road surfaces.

Directional tyres

Fit directional tyres such that they roll

in the direction of travel. The rolling

direction is indicated by a symbol

(e.g. an arrow) on the sidewall.

The following applies to tyres fitted

opposing the rolling direction:

■ Driveability may be affected. Have

the defective tyre renewed or

repaired as soon as possible.

■ Do not drive faster than 50 mph.

■ Drive particularly carefully on wet

and snow-covered road surfaces.

Jump starting

Do not start with a quick charger.

A vehicle with a discharged battery

can be started using jump leads and

the battery of another vehicle.

9 Warning

Be extremely careful when starting

with jump leads. Any deviation

from the following instructions can

lead to injuries or damage caused

by battery explosion or damage to

the electrical systems of both

vehicles.

9 Warning

Avoid contact with eyes, skin,

fabrics, and painted surfaces. The

fluid contains sulphuric acid which

can cause injuries and damage in

the event of direct contact.
