Opel Corsa: Wheels and tyres / Spare wheel
The spare wheel can be classified as
a temporary spare wheel depending
on the size compared to the other
mounted wheels and country
regulations. In this case a permissible
maximum speed applies, even
though no label at the spare wheel
indicates this.
Only mount one temporary spare
wheel. Do not drive faster than
80 km/h. Take curves slowly. Do not
use for a long period of time.
Caution
The use of a spare wheel that is
smaller than the other wheels or in
combination with winter tyres
could affect driveability. Have the
defective tyre replaced as soon as
possible.
The spare wheel is located in the load
compartment beneath the floor
covering.
To remove:
- Open the floor cover.
- The temporary spare wheel is
secured with a wing nut. Unscrew
nut and take out the spare wheel.
- When, after a wheel change, no
wheel is placed in the spare wheel
well, tighten the wing nut and
close floor cover.
- After wheel change back to full
size wheel, place the temporary
spare wheel outside up in the well
and secure with the wing nut.
Only mount one temporary spare
wheel. The permissible maximum
speed on the label on the temporary
spare wheel is only valid for the
factory-fitted tyre size.

pedestrian directly ahead in the path...
Changing tyre and wheel size
If tyres of a different size than those
fitted at the factory are used, it may be
necessary to reprogramme the tyre
deflation detection system and make
other vehicle modifications.
