SNOW CHAINS

The use of snow chains should be in compliance with
local regulations.
Snow chains can be fitted to the tyres of the front
wheels (drive wheels) only.
Use of Lineaccessori Fiat snow chains is
recommended.
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 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.

With snow chains, use the accelerator
with extreme care to prevent, or to limit
as much as possible, slipping of the drive

wheels that could cause chain breakage resulting
in damage to the car body or mechanical
components.

WARNING

185/55 R15 82T tyres cannot be fitted
with chains.

WARNING

175/65 R14 82T tyres can be fitted with
reduced size snow chains: 9 mm.

WARNING

175/65 R15 84T tyres can be fitted with
reduced size snow chains: 7 mm.

WARNING

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 road surface.
