Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle
when braking.
The snow chains must be fitted only
to the front wheels. They must never
be fitted to "space-saver" type spare
wheels.
Take account of the legislation in force
in your country on the use of snow
chains and the maximum running speed
authorised.Avoid driving with snow chains on
roads that have been cleared of snow,
to
avoid damaging your vehicle's tyres
and the road sur face. If your vehicle
is fitted with alloy wheels, check that
no part of the chain or its fixings is in
contact with the wheel rim.
Advice on installation
F If you have to fit the chains during a journey, stop the vehicle on a flat sur face
on the side of the road.
