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 tension of the chains after driving some ten
metres.

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.

IMPORTANT Tyres 205/50 R16 87V cannot be fitted
with snow chains.

Type of snow chains to be used

Snow chains with standard size

with max protrusion beyond the tyre profile of 12 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.

Refer to the above mentioned table for information on the wheels where snow chains can be fitted.
Follow the prescriptions.
