Snow chains
7
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve
traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle
when braking.
It is essential to remove them when:
– the outside temperature exceeds
10°C.
– recovery is in progress.
– the speed is above 75 mph (120 km/h).
Snow chains must be fitted only to the
front wheels. They must never be fitted to
"space-saver" type spare wheels.
It is strongly recommended that you
practise fitting the snow chains on a level
and dry surface before setting off.
Observe the legislation in force in your
country relating to the use of snow
chains and maximum authorised speeds.
Avoid driving with snow chains on roads
that have been cleared of snow to avoid
damaging the vehicle's tyres and the road
surface. If the vehicle is fitted with alloy
wheels, check that no part of the chain or its
fixings is in contact with the wheel rim.
Fitting
Only use chains that have been designed to be
fitted on the type of wheel on the vehicle:
