Note: be aware that these tyres may
sometimes have:
– a direction of travel ;
– a maximum speed index which may be lower than the maximum speed of
your vehicle.
Studded tyres
This type of equipment may only be
used for a limited period and as laid
down by local legislation.
It is necessary to observe the speed
specified by current legislation.
These tyres must, as a minimum, be
fitted to the two wheels on the front
axle for front wheel drive versions and
all the rear wheels for rear wheel drive
versions.
TYRES (3/3)
Chains may only be fitted to tyres of the same size as those originally
fitted to your vehicle.
Only certain chains can be fitted to tyres. Consult an approved Dealer.
Use in winter
Chains
Chains must not be fitted to tyres
which are larger than those originally
fitted to the vehicle.
Front wheel drive versions
For safety reasons, fitting snow
chains to the rear axle is strictly for-
bidden.
Rear wheel drive versions
For safety reasons, only fit chains
on the rear axle.
Note: for rear wheel drive, dual wheel
versions, fit chains on the outer rear
wheels.
Snow or winter tyres
We would recommend that these be
fitted to all four wheels to ensure that
your vehicle retains maximum grip.
In all cases, we would recommend
that you contact an approved Dealer
who will be able to advise you on
the choice of equipment which is
most suitable for your vehicle.
Fitting new tyres
For your safety, please re-
spect the speed limit.
When they need to be re-
placed, only tyres of the
same make, size, type and profile
should be used on a single axle.
They must: either have a load ca-
pacity and speed rating at least
equal to those of the original
tyres, or conform to those recom-
mended by an authorised dealer.
Failure to heed these instructions
could endanger your safety and
affect your vehicle’s roadworthi-
ness.
Risk of loss of control of the ve-
hicle.
