IB3234 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 269. • The spare wheel or punctured tire must be stowed under the trunk floor, and secured in place with the retaining nut. • Refit the standard tire as soon as possible. • Fitting a spare tire/wheel without pressure sensor will trigger a malfunction message, see page 236. 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.
