temporary spare tire Explanation: Repuesto de galleta is a temporary spare tire. La versión sedán incluye de serie rueda de repuesto de galleta, mientras que el Tourer lleva kit antipinchazos de serie, con la opción de rueda de repuesto de galleta. http://www.supermotor.com/revista/pruebas/2006/02/264742.htm... In addition, the Accord Hybrid now comes standard with Vehicle Stability Assist which helps maintain traction and stability in slippery or treacherous conditions and a temporary spare tire. The outgoing model had no spare, only a flat-tire repair kit, due to the IMA battery pack having to fill the space beneath the trunk. http://www.forbesautos.com/reviews/2006/honda/accord/hybrid/... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 21 mins (2006-02-18 17:38:50 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Para algunos de esos vehículos con poco espacio puede servir la rueda de repuesto de emergencia o galleta. Esta solución no gusta mucho porque las ruedas son más pequeñas que las otras y aparte de que estéticamente no queda bien, permite un rodaje muy limitado, apenas unos 80 kilómetros para poder llegar a un taller y colocar una rueda normal. http://www.consumer.es/accesible/es/motor/mantenimiento_auto... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 54 mins (2006-02-18 18:11:36 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Definition: There are several different types of spare tires: a folding spare (which must be inflated with an air canister prior to mounting), a compact spare (which is much smaller and narrower than the other wheels on the vehicle), and a lightweight spare (which is the same diameter as the other tires on the vehicle but thinner). All of these tires are labeled "temporary" spares because of their weight-saving construction. As such, they are intended for emergency use only-not for sustained or high speed driving. Most carry a warning not to exceed 50 mph nor to travel further than 50 miles. The only kind of spare tire that can be used without such restrictions is a conventional full-sized spare that's the same as the other tires on the vehicle. http://autorepair.about.com/library/glossary/bldef-740a.htm If you need something more specific than temporary spare, I would say the "galleta" corresponds to the compact type. |
