To ensure safety, always have the
lug bolts checked with a calibrated
torque wrench as soon as possible to

ened lug bolts are a hidden safety risk. The
tightening torque is 88.5 lb ft/120 Nm.<
Driving with spare wheel
With certain wheel-and-tire combinations
the size of the spare wheel differs from
that of the other wheels. The spare wheel is
equivalent to them in all load and speed ranges.
However, to restore the original state, the nor-
mal wheel should be remounted as soon as
possible.<
