What can I do about small cracks in the tire?

If you only have a small tear in your tire, you can use a puncture spray. The gas it contains will inflate the tire slightly and seal the small tear with glue. However, as most sprays do not generate sufficient inflation pressure or only close the tear temporarily, you should visit a garage as soon as possible.

Help, my tire has blown:

If your tire is exposed to a high load, the tire may burst. This is a rare occurrence. If this should happen, keep calm and do not react with violent steering movements.

Roadside safety:

After you have brought your car to a standstill on the roadside or hard shoulder, it is important to secure the vehicle. Signal your flat tire with the hazard warning lights and set up your warning triangle about 100 meters behind the car.

How do I change a spare wheel?

Here are instructions on the best way to replace your bike:

  • Engage the gear.
  • Then switch off the engine.
  • Then apply the handbrake.
  • Then jack up the car with a jack at the reinforced points on the underbody.
  • Then loosen the wheel nuts.
  • Then replace the wheel.
  • It is important to tighten the nuts with a torque wrench before and after setting the car down.

It is also best to drive carefully with the spare wheel, as the air pressure is often too low on the emergency wheel. Find a garage as soon as possible after changing the tire, as the wheel is only for emergencies.
