Correct answer

  • CCircular con ella el tiempo indispensable para llevar el vehículo al taller más cercano.Drive on it only for as long as needed to take the vehicle to the nearest garage.
Explanation

Some vehicles carry an emergency or temporary-use wheel instead of a full spare wheel. In that case, if you have to drive after a puncture or blowout, you must respect the wheel's own limits (emergency wheels are usually limited to 80 km/h and allow between 50 and 200 km) and drive only for as long as needed to take the vehicle to the nearest repair centre. If the question were about a full spare wheel, the correct answer would be that its inflation pressure must be the highest of those recommended by the manufacturer.
