170 Starting and driving Driving considerations with compact spare wheel/tire fitted WARNING • Do not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h) as the tire can overheat and adversely affect the handling of the car. • Tire pressure: refer to page 261. • The spare wheel or punctured tire must be stowed under the trunk floor, and secured in place with the retaining nut. The following should be observed when the compact spare wheel (T115/70 R16) is fitted: • The compact spare is light and easy to handle when changing the wheel. • Do not drive further than necessary with the compact spare fitted - the maximum life of the wheel is only just over 2000 miles (3,500 km). • Refit the standard tire as soon as possible. Important considerations when driving with a compact spare tire: • The car's ground clearance is reduced. • The car must not be driven with more than one compact tire at a time. • Avoid driving against a curb. • Do not use snow chains. • Do not fit the wheel cover - this would conceal the warning text. Spare wheel and tools The spare wheel, together with the jack and jack handle, front towrope attachment eye and toolkit, are stowed away underneath the trunk. WARNING Stow all tools carefully away after use, so that they cannot get loose and cause injury in the event of a crash. IB3232 NOTICE To avoid damaging a punctured alloy wheel it can be placed outside up in the spare-wheel well but only while driving to the closest workshop. A general rule is that all heavy loads must be well secured in the luggage compartment, see page 123 and 126.
