WARNING

The maximum speed for snow tyres
marked "Q" is 160 km/h, while it is 190

km/h for "T" tyres and 210 km/h for "H" tyres.
The highway code speed limits must however
always be complied with.

SNOW CHAINS

The use of snow chains should be in compliance with
local regulations.
Snow chains may be fitted to the tyres of the front
wheels (drive wheels) only.
Check the tension of the snow chains after the first
few metres have been driven.
17" tyres cannot be fitted with chains. For other
tyres (15" and 16") fit only reduced size snow chains
with a maximum projection of 9 mm beyond the
tyre profile.

IMPORTANT Snow chains cannot be fitted to the
space-saver wheel (for versions/markets, where
provided). If a front tyre is punctured, replace a rear
wheel with the space-saver wheel and move the
rear wheel to the front axle. In this way, with two
normal drive wheels at the front, snow chains can be
fitted.

Keep your speed down when snow chains
are fitted; do not exceed 50 km/h. Avoid
potholes, steps and pavements and avoid

driving for long distances on roads not covered
with snow to prevent damaging the car and
the roadbed.
