is secured by the conical sur face of
each bolt.

To store the punctured wheel in the
boot correctly, first remove the central

When using the "space-saver" type
spare wheel, do not exceed 50 mph
(80

km/h).

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 snow
chains and the maximum running speed
authorised.Avoid driving with snow chains on roads
that have been cleared of snow, to
avoid damaging your vehicle's tyres and
the road sur face. It is recommended
that before you leave, you practise
fitting the snow chains on a level and
dry sur face. If your vehicle is fitted with
alloy wheels, check that no part of the
chain or its fixings is in contact with the
wheel rim.Advice on installation

journey, stop the vehicle on a flat sur face
on the side of the road.
