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.

It is strongly recommended that before
you leave, you practise fitting the snow
chains on a level and dry sur face.
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
aluminium alloy wheels, check that no part
of the chain or its fixings is in contact with
the wheel rim. Use only the chains designed to be fitted to the
type of wheel fitted to your vehicle:
