CORRECT USE OF THE CAR
SNOW CHAINS
Use of snow chains should be in compliance with local
regulations.
Snow chains should only be applied to the driving
wheels (front wheels).
Check the tension of the chains after the first few
metres have been driven.
IMPORTANT Snow chains cannot be fitted to the
space-saver spare wheel. So, if a front (drive) wheel is
punctured and chains are needed, a rear wheel should
be fitted to the front of the vehicle and the spare
wheel should be fitted to the rear. This way with two
normal drive wheels, snow chains can be fitted to
them to solve an emergency.
Tyres on which chains can be fitted:
– 185/65 R 15 88H
– 195/60 R 15 88H
Use slow profile snow chains with maximum height off
the tyre of 10 mm.
Keep your speed down when snow chains are fitted. Do not exceed 50 Km/h. Avoid potholes, steps
and pavements and avoid also to drive for long distances on roads not covered with snow to
prevent damaging the car and the roadbed.
