Vehicle care 193
The spare wheel well is not designed
for all permitted tyre sizes. If a wheel
wider than the spare must be stowed
in the spare wheel well after changing
wheels, the floor cover can be placed
on the projecting wheel.
This must be taken into consideration
when the load compartment is being
loaded, particularly with the Astra
TwinTop 3 39.
Estate
Take adapter and hooks from the rails
in the load compartment walls. Raise
the rear lashing eyes and lift the floor
cover to the vertical position so that it
rests on the roof lining. When closing,
guide the lashing eyes through the
slots in the floor cover. Vehicles with
cargo box: removal 3 72.
TwinTop
Accessing the spare wheel when the
roof is open: Engage load
compartment cover on the rear
window frame and activate the
loading aid 3 74. Raise the floor cover
in the load compartment.
Temporary spare wheel
Use of the temporary spare wheel
could affect driveability. Have the
defective tyre renewed or repaired as
soon as possible.
Only mount one temporary spare
wheel. Do not drive faster than
50 mph. Take curves slowly. Do not
use for a long period of time.
The use of the temporary spare wheel
on the rear axle is not permitted while
towing another vehicle. Therefore
mount the temporary spare wheel on
the front axle and a full-size tyre on
the rear axle.
Tyre chains 3 187.
Directional tyres
Fit directional tyres such that they roll
in the direction of travel. The rolling
direction is indicated by a symbol
(e.g. an arrow) on the sidewall.
The following applies to tyres fitted
opposing the rolling direction:
■ Driveability may be affected. Have
the defective tyre renewed or
repaired as soon as possible.
■ Drive particularly carefully on wet
and snow-covered road surfaces.
