starter switch). The driver’s door then
can be closed again.

only. Use for over a total of 12000 miles

Park the vehicle as far as possible from
moving traffic on a hard surface.

km) (aggregate of all uses) may
cause wheel rim failure leading to an acci-
dent and possible injuries.

rarily and replaced with a regular road wheel
as quickly as possible.
