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.
Use reduced size snow chains:
– on 195/65 R15” and 205/55 R16” tyres, use
reduced size snow chains with a maximum
projection of 9 mm beyond the tyre profile;
– on 225/45 R17” tyres, use reduced size snow
chains with a maximum projection of 7 mm beyond
the tyre profile.

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.

IMPORTANT 225/40 R18 92V tyres cannot be
fitted with chains. Snow chains may cause
interference with the surrounding elements.

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.
