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).We recommend using Lineaccessori
Fiat snow chains.
Check the tautness of the chains af-
ter driving some twenty to thirty me-
tres.
Refer to the following
table for information on
the wheels where snow
chains can be fitted. Follow the
prescriptions.
With chains
mounted keep
your speed down.
Do not exceed 50 km/h. Avoid
holes in the road; do not mount
steps or kerbs. Do not drive long
stretches of snow-free road with
the chains mounted, as this can
damage the vehicle and the road
surface too.
