WARNING

The max speed for snow tyres with “Q”
marking is 160 km/h.The Highway

Code speed limits must however be always
strictly observed.s

SNOW CHAINS

The use of snow chains should be in compliance with
local regulations.
The snow chains may be applied only onto the front
wheel tyres (drive wheels).
Check the tension of the snow chains after the first
few metres have been driven.

IMPORTANT Snow chains cannot be fitted to the
space-saver spare wheel. If the front tyre has a
puncture, replace a rear wheel with the spare wheel
and move the rear wheel to the front axle. This
way with two normal drive wheels, snow chains can
be fitted to them to solve an emergency.

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.
