3. Return the flooring to its place and only then close the trunk lid.
Your vehicle may be factory-equipped with a steel spare tire. Due to design data (rim/tire size, rubber compound, tread pattern, etc.) the spare wheel, as a rule, does not correspond in its performance to the serial tires of the car. Therefore, you should be aware of the following restrictions:
The steel spare wheel may only be used on your vehicle model. It can only be mounted on your vehicle.
If a steel spare wheel is fitted, the driving characteristics of your vehicle will change.
The steel spare wheel is only intended for short-term fitting in case of «puncture» tires. Replace the steel spare wheel with a standard tire as soon as possible.
If the tire size of the steel spare wheel differs from that of the standard wheel, under certain circumstances snow chains may not be fitted to the spare wheel.
Standard spare wheel
The spare wheel is located in a recess under the boot floor.

2. Hang the floor using the handle on the boot seal.
3. Unscrew the handle by turning it counterclockwise.
4. Remove the spare wheel.
5. Return the flooring to its place and only then close the trunk lid.
Laying a faulty wheel
1. Stow the wheel in the spare wheel well.
2. To fix the wheel, screw in the handle by turning it clockwise.
3. Return the flooring to its place and only then close the trunk lid.
Vehicles exported to some countries are not equipped with a wheel with a standard tire, but with a lighter compact emergency wheel*.
Spare wheel with directional tread pattern
If a wheel with a directional tread pattern is used as a spare wheel, the following must be remembered:
- The direction of rotation of the wheel is determined by a mark in the form of an arrow on the sidewall of the tire.
- If, in the event of a puncture, the spare wheel has to be mounted against the direction of travel determined by the tread pattern, then this measure should only be temporary, since the tire in this case cannot fully realize its inherent optimal driving characteristics, such as the lack of a tendency to aquaplaning, quietness and durability. We especially recommend remembering this in wet weather, commensurate the speed with the condition of the roadway.
Compact spare wheel (emergency wheel)
Compact Spare (emergency) the wheel is located in a niche under the trunk flooring.
Using the emergency wheel
The emergency wheel is intended only to get to the workshop in an emergency. Therefore, at the first opportunity, replace it with a wheel with a standard tire.
There are some restrictions on the operation of the emergency wheel. The emergency wheel cannot be used on vehicles of other models.
It is not allowed to put standard or winter tires on the emergency wheel disk.
Anti-skid chains
For technical reasons, snow chains must not be fitted to the compact emergency wheel.
Therefore, if you need to drive with snow chains in case of «puncture» front wheel, put the emergency wheel back. In turn, put snow chains on the removed rear wheel and install it in place of the faulty front wheel.
Wheel replacement
Replacing a wheel requires advance preparation.
1. Stop on level ground and as far away from traffic as possible.
2. Drop off all passengers and make sure they are out of the danger zone (e.g. on the outside of a road barrier).
3. Fully tighten the handbrake.
4. Engage first gear (manual transmission) or set the automatic transmission selector lever to the position «R».
5. When driving with a trailer: Disconnect the trailer from the vehicle.
6. Remove the tool kit and spare wheel from the trunk.
Warning: When the roadway is sloping, place an additional support under the opposite wheel.
Warning: Follow the rules of the road.
Wheel replacement
The wheel replacement process includes the following steps.
1. Remove the wheel cover. See also below «Decorative wheel covers» or «Wheel bolts with caps».
2. Loosen the wheel bolts.
3. Raise the car.
4. Remove/install the wheel.
5. Lower the car.
6. Tighten the wheel bolts crosswise with a wheelbrace.
7. Replace the cap.
Operations after changing a wheel
After changing the wheel, a number of operations must be performed.
1. Place the removed wheel in the spare wheel well and secure.
2. Replace the tool kit.
3. Immediately check the air pressure in the tire of the installed spare wheel.
4. Check the torque of the wheel bolts with a torque wrench. The standard moment is specified in Specifications.
5. Replace the defective wheel as soon as possible.
Warning: If, when changing a wheel, the wheel bolts are found to be rusty or tight on the threads, they should be replaced before measuring the tightening torque. Before controlling the tightening torque, for the sake of caution, drive only at a moderate speed.

2. Pull and remove the decorative cap.
Wheel bolts with caps
Remove the caps before loosening the wheel bolts.
Withdrawal
1. Slide the plastic clip supplied with the tool over the cap. In this case, the internal clamps of the clamp must snap into place in the cap shoulder.
2. Remove the cap with the plastic clip supplied with the tool (arrow).
Installation
1. Put the caps on the bolts.
The caps serve to protect the wheel bolts.
Loosening and tightening wheel bolts
Loosen the wheel bolts and only then raise the vehicle.
Weakening
1. Push the wheel wrench all the way onto the wheel bolt.
2. Loosen the wheel bolt about one turn to the left (arrow). At the same time, hold the wrench handle as close to its end as possible.
Tightening
1. Push the wheel wrench all the way onto the wheel bolt.
2. Tighten the wheel bolt by turning the wheelbrace clockwise. At the same time, hold the wrench handle as close to its end as possible.
Warning: The hexagon socket provided in the screwdriver handle must not be used for breaking or tightening the wheel bolts. Gently press down on the end of the wrench handle with your foot if the bolt does not move. Get into a stable position and hold on to the vehicle.
Wheel removal and installation
Dismantling or mounting a wheel involves certain steps.
After loosening the wheel bolts and jacking up the vehicle, replace the wheel in the following sequence:
Wheel removal
1. Hex screwdriver handle (from the tool kit) Remove the highest wheel bolt and place it on a clean surface.
2. Screw the safety pin included in the tool kit into the freed hole by hand.
3. Then remove the remaining bolts as described above.
4. Remove the wheel. The safety pin remains in the hole.
Wheel mounting
1. Put on the spare wheel through the safety pin.
2. Screw in the wheel bolts using the hexagon of the screwdriver handle and tighten them slightly.
3. Turn out the safety pin and also lightly tighten this wheel bolt.
Wheel bolts must be clean and easy to thread. Check the contact surface of the wheel and hub. Remove dirt from these surfaces before mounting the wheel.
The internal hexagon in the screwdriver handle makes it easier to screw in and out of the wheel bolts. The adjusting rod of the screwdriver must be removed.
When mounting wheels with a directional tread pattern, do not forget about the direction of rotation of the wheel.
Warning: Do not use the hexagon socket provided in the screwdriver handle to loosen or tighten the wheel bolts.
Tires with directional tread pattern
Tires with a directional tread pattern must be mounted with respect to the direction of rotation.
The direction of rotation of the wheel is determined by a mark in the form of an arrow on the sidewall of the tire. Be sure to observe the specified direction of rotation. Only in this case will it be possible to realize the optimal qualities of these tires, such as the absence of a tendency to aquaplaning, noiselessness and wear resistance.
Installing the spare wheel opposite to the direction of travel determined by the tread pattern, in case «puncture» requires caution when driving, since the tire in this case cannot fully realize its inherent optimal qualities.
We especially recommend remembering this in wet weather, commensurate the speed with the condition of the roadway.
To take full advantage of a directional tire, replace the damaged tire as soon as possible to restore the correct direction of rotation of all tires.
