After changing a wheel
With a
"space-saver" type spare wheel
Deactivate certain driving aid functions (Active Safety Brake, Adaptive Cruise Control, etc.).
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.
Go to a dealer or a
qualified workshop.

stable and non-slippery.
With a manual gearbox, engage first gear
to lock the wheels, apply the parking brake,
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...
