winter tyres Lancia Ypsilon 2011 Owner handbook (in English)

WARNING
The ABS with which the car may be
equipped will not
control the braking
system of the trailer. Particular caution is
required on slippery roads.
WARNING
Never modify the braking system of
the car to
control the trailer brake.
The trailer braking system must be fully
independent of the car’s hydraulic system.
SNOW TYRESUse snow tyres of the same size as the normal
tyres provided with the car.
A Lancia Dealership will be happy to provide
advice concerning the most suitable type of tyre
for the customer's requirements.
For the type of tyre to be used, inflation pressures
and the specifications of snow tyres, follow the
instructions given in paragraph "Wheels" in
section "Technical specifications".
The winter performance of these tyres is
considerably reduced when the tread thickness is
less than 4 mm. Replace them in this case.
Due to their specific features, the performance of
snow tyres is much lower than that of normal
types in normal conditions or long motorway
stretches. Their usage should therefore be
restricted in accordance with their type approval.
IMPORTANT When using snow tyres with a
maximum speed index below the one that can be
reached by the car (increased by 5%), place a
notice in the passenger compartment, plainly in
view, which states the maximum speed allowed by
the snow tyres (as per EC Directive).
All four tyres should be the same (brand and
track) to ensure greater safety when driving and
braking and better driveability. Remember that
you should not change the rotation direction of the
tyres.
