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.

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.

IMPORTANT Snow chains cannot be fitted to the
space-saver wheel. 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.
