Practical Tips, Minor Repairs
Snow chains
Caution!
Risk of damage to body, axle or brake com-
ponents.
fUse only the fine-link snow chains recommend-
ed and authorized by Porsche so that sufficient
clearance between the wheel well and the
chain is assured.
fFollow instructions issued by the supplier of the chains.
The best possible handling characteristics are
achieved when snow chains are fitted on all four
wheels of the vehicle. However, it is also possible
to fit snow chains on only one axle (preferably the
rear axle).
fBefore fitting chains, remove accumulated ice
and snow from the wheel well.
fVehicles with snow chains must not be driven
faster than 30 mph (50 km/h).Different states and countries have varying statu-
tory requirements regarding maximum speed.
fCheck with local authorities for possible re-
strictions.
fRemove chains as soon as the roads are free
of ice and snow.
