Snow tyres
E01002000523
The use of snow tyres is recomme
nded for driving on snow and
ice. To preserve driving stability, mount snow tyres of the samesize and tread pattern on all 4 wheels. Snow tyres worn more than 50 % are no longer suitable for use as snow tyres.Snow tyres which do not meet specifications must not be used.NOTE●
The laws and regulations concerning snow tyres (driving speed, required use, type, etc.) vary. Find out and followthe laws and regulations in the area you intend to drive.
●
If flange nuts are used on your vehicle, change to tapered nuts when steel wheels are used.
CAUTION
!●
If the tyres have arrows
(A) indicating the correct
direction of rotation, swap the front and rear wheelson the left hand side of th
e vehicle and the front and
rear wheels on the right hand side of the vehicle sep- arately. Keep each tyre on
its original side of the
vehicle. When fitting the tyres, make sure the arrows point in the dir
ection in which the wheels
will turn when the vehicle moves forward. Any tyrewhose arrow points in the
wrong direction will not
perform to its full potential.

CAUTION
!●
As your vehicle is equipped with anti-lock brake sys- tem (ABS), in order to ensure that the anti-lockbrake system (ABS) will op
erate correctly in situa-
tions where tyre chains h
ave been fitted, drive in
“4H”, “4HLc” or “4LLc”.
●
Practice fitting the chains
before you need them.
Don’t expect help from ot
her people in the cold.
●
Choose a clear straight
stretch of road where you
can pull over and still be seen while you are fitting the chains.
●
Do not fit chains before you need them. This will wear out your tyres and the road surface.
●
After driving around 100-300 metres, stop and retighten the chains.
●
Drive carefully and do no
t exceed 50 km/h (31 mph).
Remember, fitting chains is not going to stop acci-dents from happening.
●
When tyre chains are instal
led, take care that they
do not damage the disc wheel or body.
●
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 thechain and fitting cannot be brought into contact with the wheel.
●
When installing or removing the tyre chains, take care that hands and other parts of your body are not injured by the sharp edges of the vehicle body.
