190 WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
NOTE:
Lug wrench and jack, refer to "Vehicle Tool
Kit". For reasons of safety, check at regular intervals
that the spare wheel is properly secured.
Spare Wheel Beneath the End of the Frame
Retaining screws for the spare wheel structural member
(1)
Hook (2)
1. Open the cargo doors and remove the retaining
screws (1) with the lug wrench from the vehicle
tool kit.
2. Lift the spare wheel structural member, unhinge
the hooks (2), and lower the spare wheel structural
member. Remove the spare wheel.
WARNING!
The spare wheel holder should be reattached once
the wheel has been changed.
Regularly check the spare wheel fastening.
A loose spare wheel or spare wheel holder could
be loosen or could move around the vehicle
interior uncontrollably in the event of sudden
braking, a rapid change in direction or an
accident. This increases the risk of injury to
vehicle occupants and other road users in these
situations.
Do not use retreaded/remolded tires. This process
does not always permit previous damage to be
detected. Therefore vehicle safety cannot be
guaranteed if retreaded/remolded tires are fitted.
