Do not exceed the maximum authorised speed of 50 mph (80 km/h).
Driving with more than one "space-saver" type spare wheel is prohibited.

unless it is set to automatic mode, and switch
off the ignition...
Changing a bulb
In
some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), the presence of
misting on the internal surface of the glass of
the headlamps and rear lamps is normal; it
disappears after the lamps have been on for a
few minutes...
