Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle when braking.
Advice on installation
F If   you   have   to   fit   the   chains   during   a  j
ourney,   stop   the   vehicle   on   a   flat   sur face  
o

n   the   side   of   the   road.
F
 
A
pply   the   parking   brake   and   position   any  
w

heel   chocks   to   prevent   movement   of   your  
v

ehicle.
F
 
F

p

rovided   by   the   manufacturer.
F
 
M
ove   off   gently   and   drive   for   a   few  
m

oments,   without   exceeding   30 mph  
(

50 km/h).
F
 
S
top   your   vehicle   and   check   that   the   snow  
c

hains   are   correctly   tightened.
