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   driving   wheels.  
They
  
must
  never   be   fitted   to   "space-
saver"
  type   spare   wheels.

force in your country on the use 
of
  snow   chains   and   the   maximum

avoid driving with chains on roads 
that have been cleared of snow
, 
to
  avoid   damaging   your   vehicle's   tyres  
and
  the   road   surface.   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.
