For cars without ABS and without a drive on all wheels: As this wheel is less in the sizes, than a standard wheel, the gap between the road and the bottom of the car decreases approximately by 30 mm. Try not to go through acting subjects and do not call in on an automatic wash of cars at the established spare wheel not to receive damages.

Bolts of fastening of a spare wheel always should be twisted reliably. By no means it is impossible to store a spare wheel in a luggage carrier not fixed. It can lead to traumas of passengers in case of failure.

 – after installation of a small-sized spare wheel, it is necessary to check pressure in the tire and if it is necessary, to pump up the tire to pressure in 60 psi/4.2 of a bar;
 – the most permissible load is noted on lateral face of the tire of a spare wheel and should not be exceeded;
 – it is necessary to return a spare wheel into place to a luggage carrier right after repair or replacement of a standard wheel;
 – as the small-sized spare wheel was developed specially for Aуди cars, it should not be used on other cars. Similarly, small-sized spare wheels of other cars should not be established on your car;
 – the small-sized tire cannot be put on a standard wheel, and also standard tires, winter tires, caps of wheels or finishing rings should not be put on a small-sized spare wheel. If you try to make similar attempt, you can damage these or other elements of the car.
