Video tutorial

In this video, you will see how to replace a wheel with the space saver spare. Naturally, you will have the jack, the lever to operate it, and the wheel nut key to loosen the bolts of the wheel you need to replace.

You should also wear a yellow high-visibility vest when performing these operations around the vehicle, and use a warning triangle to indicate that there is a stationary vehicle 50 metres away. The space saver spare means you must not exceed a maximum speed of 50 mph and a maximum distance of 124 miles.

When performing the operation, always remember to engage the handbrake, then loosen the bolts and position the jack under the chassis. Raise the car so that the tyre is off the ground, remove the flat tyre, and fit the space saver spare.

Perform an initial tightening of the bolts and then lower the vehicle. Complete the tightening and you are ready to go.
