vehicle manufacturer has foreseen that the maximum vehicle design speed is greater than the speed corresponding to the lowest speed category symbol of the fitted tyres, a maximum seed warning label, specifying the maximum speed capability of the tyres, shall be displayed inside the vehicle in a prominent position readily and permanently visible to the driver.
              5.2.3.3.  The manufacturer shall provide the necessary information about replacement tyres speed capacity in the vehicle owner's handbook or by any other communication means in the vehicle.
              5.2.4. Special cases
              5.2.4.1. In the case of vehicles which are designed to be capable of towing a trailer, the additional load imposed at the trailer coupling device may cause the rear tyre maximum load ratings to be exceeded in case of class C1 tyres, but not by more than 15 per cent. In such a case, the vehicle owner's handbook, or the other communication means referred to in paragraph 5.2.3.3., shall contain clear information and advice on the maximum permissible vehicle speed when towing a trailer, in any case not exceeding 100 km/h, and on the rear tyre pressure, at least 20 kPa (0.2 bar) above the tyre pressure(s) as recommended for normal use (i.e. without a trailer attached).
              5.2.4.2. In exceptional cases, where vehicles are designed for conditions of use which are incompatible with the characteristics of tyres of class C1 or C2 and it is therefore necessary to fit tyres with different characteristics, the requirements of paragraph 5.1.1. of this Regulation shall not apply, provided that all of the following conditions are met:
              5.2.4.2.1.  The tyres fulfil the technical requirements and respect the transitional provisions of either Regulation No. 75 or Regulation No. 106; and
              5.2.4.2.2.  The type-approval authority and technical service are satisfied that the tyres fitted are suitable for the operating conditions of the vehicle. The nature of the exemption and motivation of acceptance shall be stated in the test report as well as on the communication form of Annex 2.
              5.2.5. Spare wheels and tyres
              5.2.5.1. In cases where a vehicle is provided with a standard spare unit, it shall be of the same size as the tyres actually fitted to the vehicle.
              5.2.5.2. Every vehicle provided with a temporary-use spare unit or run flat tyres shall comply with the technical and transitional provisions of Regulation No. 64 with respect to the requirements concerning the equipment of vehicles with temporary-use spare units and run flat tyres.
              If specific precautions have to be taken in order to fit a temporary-use spare unit to the vehicle (e.g. temporary use spare unit is only to be fitted on the front axle and therefore a front standard unit must first be fitted on the rear
