The car is equipped with a spare wheel with a standard tire. Some export modifications are equipped not with a standard tire, but with a compact emergency wheel.
The spare wheel is located in a niche under the luggage compartment flooring and is secured with a special bolt.
When using a spare wheel with a tire that has a unidirectional tread pattern, keep the following in mind:
The direction of rotation of the wheel is determined by the marking in the form of an arrow on the sidewall of the tire.
Mounting the wheel in the opposite direction of its normal rotation, determined by the tread pattern, is only possible temporarily, since the tire in this case cannot fully realize its optimal driving characteristics, such as lack of aquaplaning, noiselessness and wear resistance. We especially recommend remembering this in wet weather, commensurate the speed with the condition of the roadway.
To take full advantage of a tire with a unidirectional tread pattern, replace the damaged tire as soon as possible or remount the spare wheel for the correct direction of rotation.
When equipping the vehicle with a compact emergency wheel, remember the following:
The emergency wheel is intended for short-term occasional use only. Therefore, at the first opportunity, replace it with a wheel with a standard tire.
After installing the emergency wheel, check the air pressure in it as soon as possible. The pressure should be 4.2 bar.
Don't go over the speed limit 80 km/h Avoid acceleration with the accelerator pedal fully depressed, sudden braking and reckless cornering!
The emergency wheel is specially designed for a specific car model. Therefore, it cannot be used on vehicles of other models. Do not use the emergency wheels of cars of other brands.
For technical reasons, the use of snow chains on the compact emergency wheel is not permitted.
Therefore, if you need to drive with snow chains, remove and put back the compact emergency wheel. In turn, install the removed rear wheel in place of the front compact emergency wheel. Snow chains are recommended to be put on before installing the wheel. After that, bring the air pressure in the tires to normal as soon as possible.
It is not allowed to put standard or winter tires on the emergency wheel disk.
Never drive with more than one spare tire.
