Spare wheel

GENERAL INFORMATION


The car is completed with a spare wheel with the standard tire. Some export updatings are equipped not with the standard tire, and a compact emergency wheel.

The spare wheel is located in a niche under a flooring of a luggage compartment and fastens a special bolt.

When using a spare wheel with the tire having unidirectional drawing of a protector, keep in mind the following:

The direction of rotation of a wheel is defined by marking in the form of an arrow put on боковине of a tire.

Wheel installation back to the direction of its normal rotation defined by drawing of a protector, probably it is only temporary, as the tire in this case cannot realize fully optimum road performance inherent in it, such as lack of tendency to hydroplaning, noiselessness and wear resistance. Especially we recommend to remember it in crude weather, sorazmery speed of movement with a carriageway condition.

For complete use of advantages of the tire with unidirectional drawing of a protector as soon as possible replace the damaged tire or remount a spare wheel for the correct direction of rotation.

At a car complete set a compact emergency wheel remember the following:

The emergency wheel is intended only for short-term incidental application. Therefore at the first possibility replace it with a wheel with the standard tire.

After installation of an emergency wheel as soon as possible check pressure of air in it. Pressure should make 4.2 bar.

Do not exceed speed of 80 km/h. Avoid dispersals at completely squeezed out pedal of an accelerator, sharp braking and recklessness on turns!

The emergency wheel is specially designed under concrete model of the car. Therefore it cannot be used on cars of other models. It is impossible to use as well emergency wheels of cars of other brands.

Application of chains of antisliding on a compact emergency wheel is for technical reasons inadmissible.

Therefore in need of movement with chains of antisliding remove and put back a compact emergency wheel. In turn removed back wheel establish to the place of a forward compact emergency wheel. Chains of antisliding are recommended to be put on before wheel installation. After that as soon as possible finish to norm pressure of air in tires.

On a disk of an emergency wheel putting on of standard or winter tires is not allowed.

Never go more than with one emergency wheel.
