Technician Safety Information



WARNING: The following precautions must be observed when using the space saver spare wheel:

- The space saver spare wheel is for temporary use only, it must be replaced with the repaired standard wheel as soon as possible.
- Only one space saver is to be used on the vehicle at any one time with a maximum speed of 50 mph (80 km/h) being observed.
- The inflation pressure of the space saver tyre must be maintained at 4.2 bar (60 lbf.in2).
- The use of snow chains is not permitted on the space saver spare wheel.
- Take care when driving, the space saver tyre is smaller in size and is inflated to a higher pressure than the standard tyres; it will provide a harsher ride and may have less traction on some surfaces.

NOTE: The tyre size is displayed on the outer wall of each tyre.
