If snow chains aremount edon the rear
wheels, thesnow chains couldcause abrasion
to the vehicle bodyortochassis compon ents.
This could cause damage tothe vehicle orthe
tires. There isarisk ofan accident .
To avoid hazardous situations:
R never mount snowchains onthe rear
wheels
R only mount snowchains inpairs onthe
fron twheels.
! On
some tiresizes there isnot enough space
for snow chains. Toavoid damage tothe vehi-
cle ortires, observe the"Wheel andtirecom-
