Snow chains


In wintry conditions, snow chains improve traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle when braking.


The snow chains must be fitted only to the front wheels. They must never be fitted to "space-saver" type spare
wheels.
Take account of the legislation in force in your country on the use of snowchains and the maximum running speedauthorised.


Avoid driving on roads that have beencleared of snow, to avoid damaging your vehicle's tyres and the road surface. It is recommended that before you leave,you practise fitting the snow chains ona level and dry surface. If your vehicleis fitted with alloy wheels, check thatno par t of the chain or its fixings is incontact with the wheel rim.



Advice on installation
