Tyre chainsEL23APDb
It is recommended that snow chains are
carried in snow regions and fitted when re-
quired to the rear wheels.
On 4WD vehicles, the driving power is dis-
tributed preferentially to the rear wheels. If
tyre chains have to be used, ensure that
they are fitted on the rear.
The tyres fitted to your vehicle as original
equipment allow you to fit tyre chains if
they are required. When replacing your
tyres, check with the tyre distributor or
manufacturer if the fitting of tyre chains will
be detrimental to the tyres being pur-
chased.
Always follow the chain manufacturer’s in-
structions when fitting the chains.
WARNINGDO NOT use a jack when fitting the
chains, as in the conditions, the
tyres may slip on the icy road caus-
ing the vehicle to slip off the jack.
(8) An aluminium wheel can be
damaged by a tyre chain while
driving. When fitting a tyre chain
on an aluminium wheel, take
care that any part of the chain
and fitting cannot be brought
into contact with the wheel disc.
(9) When installing or removing a
tyre chain, take care that hands
and other parts of your body are
not injured by the sharp edges
of the vehicle body.
(10) Install the chains only on the
rear tyres and tighten them as
tightly as possible with the ends
securely fastened.
NOTE
The laws and regulations concerning the
use of tyre chains vary. Find out and follow
the laws and regulations in the driving
area. In most countries, it is prohibited by
the law to use tyre chains on roads without
snow.CAUTION(1) Practice fitting the chains before
you need them. Don’t expect
help from other people in the
cold.
(2) Choose a clear straight stretch
of road where you can pull off
and still be seen while you are
fitting the chains.
(3) Do not fit chains before you
need them. This will wear out
your tyres and the road surface.
(4) After driving around 100-300
meters, stop and retighten the
chains.
(5) Care should be taken with ex-
tremes of steering lock to pre-
vent possible contact between
the chains and the vehicle body.
(6) Drive carefully and do not ex-
ceed 50 km/h. Remember, fitting
chains is not going to stop acci-
dents from happening.
(7) When tyre chains are installed,
take care that they do not dam-
age the wheel disc or body.
