  • an emergency spare wheel or self-repairing tyres.
Vehicle fitted with a tyre pressure loss warning system

WARNING
If the spare wheel has been stored for several years, have it checked by your Dealer to ensure that it is safe to use.
Vehicle equipped with an emergency spare wheel that differs from the other four wheels:
  • Never fit more than one emergency spare wheel to the same vehicle.
  • Replace the emergency spare wheel as soon as possible with a wheel identical to the original one.
  • When this is fitted to the vehicle, which must only be a temporary measure, the driving speed must not exceed the speed indicated on the label on the wheel.
  • Fitting an emergency spare wheel may alter the way the vehicle usually runs. Avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration and reduce your speed when cornering.
  • If you need to use snow chains, fit the emergency spare wheel to the rear axle and check the tyre pressure.
WARNING
If the vehicle is parked on the hard shoulder, you must warn other road users of your vehicle's presence with a warning triangle or with other devices as per the legislation applying to the country you are in.
