It is recommended that snow chains are car-ried in snow regions and fitted when requiredto the front wheels in accardance with themanufacture’s instructions.On 4WD vehicles in which the driving poweris distributed preferentially to the frontwheels, ensure that the tyre chains are fittedon the front.The tyres fitted to your vehicle as originalequipment allow you to fit tyre chains if theyare required. When replacing your tyres,check with the tyre distributor or manufac-turer if the fitting of tyre chains will be detri-mental to the tyres being purchased.
Always follow the chain manufacturer’sinstructions when fitting the chains.

WA R N I N G zDO NOT use a jack when fitting thechains, as in the conditions, the tyres mayslip on the ic
y road causing the vehicle to
slip off the jack.CAUTION zChoose a clear straight stretch of road whereyou can pull off and still be seen while youare fitting the chains. zDo not fit chains before you need them. Thiswill wear out your tyres and the road surface. zAfter driving around 100-300 metres, stopand retighten the chains. zCare should be taken with extremes of steer-ing lock to prevent possible contact betweenthe chains and the vehicle body. zDrive carefully and do not exceed 30 km/h.Remember, fitting chains is not going to stopaccidents from happening. zWhen tyre chains are installed, take care thatthey do not damage the disc wheel or body. zAn aluminium wheel can be damaged by atyre chain while driving. When fitting a tyrechain on an aluminium wheel, take care thatany part of the chai
n and fitting cannot be
brought into contact with the wheel.
zRemove the wheel covers before installing atyre chain, otherwise they may be damagedby the tyre chain. (Refer to page 9-18.) zWhen installing or removing the tyre chains,take care that hands and other parts of yourbody are not injured by the sharp edges ofthe vehicle body. zInstall the chains only on the front tyres andtighten them as tightly
