The spare wheel rim size is 7 /2 J x 17 H 2.
For rim and tire specifications, refer to “Technical Data”.
The spare wheel rim is mounted with a full size tire of
the same type as on the vehicle’s front axle, and is fully
functional. However, that spare wheel rim is weight
optimized and has a limited service life of 12 000 miles
Warning!
The spare wheel rim is for temporary use only. Use
for over a total of 12 000 miles (20 000 km)
(aggregate of all uses) may cause wheel rim failure
leading to an accident and possible injuries.
(20
000 km) use before a standard wheel rim must
replace it.
In the case of a rear axle flat tire, you may temporarily
use the spare wheel, when observing the following
restrictions:
The dimensions of the spare wheel are different
from those of the road wheels of the rear axle. As a
result, the vehicle handling characteristics change
when driving with a spare wheel mounted on the
rear axle.
•
•
Do not exceed vehicle speed of 50 mph (80 km/h).
Drive to the nearest tire repair facility to have the
flat tire repaired or replaced as appropriate.
The spare wheel should only be used temporarily,
and replaced with a regular road wheel as quick as
possible.
•
Do not operate vehicle with more than one spare
wheel mounted.
If the arrow on tire side wall does not point in direction
of vehicle forward movement when using the spare
wheel, observe the following restriction:
