Spare wheel, unified with the rest of the car wheels
The vehicle is equipped with a spare wheel with a tire of the same type, size and model as the other four wheels of the vehicle. This allows the spare wheel to be used both for replacing a damaged wheel and for occasional wheel changes.
Small spare tire
The small wheel is intended for SHORT-TERM USE only in the event of damage to the vehicle wheel. It is forbidden to use a small wheel for long-term movement over long distances.
When using a small spare tire, the driving stability of the vehicle is impaired, so be especially careful when driving. To prevent damage to the small spare tire or vehicle, observe the following precautions.
- Do not exceed the speed of 80 km/h.
- Avoid driving over obstacles on the road. Also, do not drive into a mechanized car wash. Since the diameter of the small wheel is smaller than the standard wheels, the vehicle's ground clearance will be reduced by about 10-25 mm.
- Do not install snow chains on the spare wheel.
- The small spare wheel must not be fitted to vehicles of other makes and models.
- No more than one small spare wheel may be fitted to the vehicle at a time.
