Spare wheel (Opel Vectra A)

In the all-wheel drive Opel Vectra/Calibra, a smaller spare wheel than the other wheels is used to save space. When handling the spare wheel, please keep the following in mind:

• The spare wheel can be installed either at the front or at the rear.
• The spare tire is not designed for long-term use. If a tire becomes damaged and the spare tire has to be installed, it should be replaced with a regular tire as soon as possible.
• After installing the spare tire, check the pressure in its tire (it should be 4.2 bar).
• With the spare tire installed, the speed must not exceed 80 km/h. In addition, rapid acceleration, sharp braking and sharp turns should be avoided.
• The spare tire supplied with the vehicle is designed specifically for this vehicle. Therefore, it cannot be used on other vehicles, nor can spare tires from other vehicles be installed.
• For technical reasons, anti-skid chains cannot be put on the spare tire. If it is necessary to use chains when the front tire fails, put the spare tire in the back and the rear tire in the front. It is recommended to put the chain on before installing the wheel.
• Do not install the cover on the spare tire.
• You can drive a four-wheel drive vehicle with a spare wheel installed for a distance of no more than 50 km. If you need to continue driving, turn off the four-wheel drive by removing fuse N19 from the fuse box. After replacing the spare wheel with a regular one, insert the fuse.
