Wheels And Tires - Overview (G1311621): Overview: Notes

A number of alloy wheel designs are available ranging from 17 to 20 inch in diameter. A Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is used to monitor the air pressure in each tire and inform the driver if the pressure falls below predetermined thresholds.

All wheels are of cast construction in aluminum alloy with the choice of wheel design dependant on the vehicle trim level and engine derivative.

On normally aspirated petrol models and all diesel models a 4J X 18 inch temporary spare wheel is supplied as standard, supercharged petrol models are supplied with a 4Jx19 inch temporary spare wheel. In some major European markets an Instant Mobility System is offered as an alternative to the spare wheel. The Instant Mobility System is capable of providing a temporary repair and tire inflation to a puncture of up to 6mm in diameter in the tread area of the tire. A puncture in the tire wall cannot be repaired using the system.

The vehicle jack and accessories are stored in the spare wheel-well in the luggage compartment.
