Vehicles With A Spare Wheel - Ford TRANSIT CUSTOM Owner's Manual

Vehicles with a Spare Wheel

The spare wheel is located underneath the
rear of your vehicle and released using a
winch system.
If the spare wheel is exactly the same type
and size as the other fitted road wheels,
you can replace the existing road wheel
with the spare wheel and continue to drive
in the normal manner.
If the spare wheel is different to the other
road wheels, it will carry a yellow label with
the appropriate speed limit.
Refer to the following information before
changing the road wheel.
WARNINGS
