WARNING
The temperature grade for this tire is estab-
lished for a tire that is properly inflated and
not overloaded. Excessive speed, under-infla-
tion, or excessive loading, either separately or
in combination, can cause heat buildup and
tire failure.
Snow chains
Snow chains can be used on your Volvo with the
following restrictions:
•
Snow chains should be installed on front
wheels only. Use only Volvo approved snow
chains.
•
If accessory, aftermarket or "custom" tires
and wheels are installed and are of a size dif-
ferent than the original tires and wheels,
chains in some cases CANNOT be used.
Sufficient clearances between chains and
brakes, suspension and body components
must be maintained.
•
Some strap-on type chains will interfere with
brake components and therefore CANNOT
be used.
•
All Wheel Drive models: Snow chains
should only be installed on the front wheels.
•
Certain size tires may not allow the assembly
of snow chains/traction devices.
Consult your Volvo retailer for additional snow
chain information.
CAUTION
•
Check local regulations regarding the use
of snow chains before installing.
•
Use single-sided snow chains only.
•
Always follow the chain manufacturer's
installation instructions carefully. Install
chains as tightly as possible and
retighten periodically.
•
Never exceed the chain manufacturer's
specified maximum speed limit. (Under
no circumstances should you exceed
31 mph (50 km/h).
•
Avoid bumps, holes or sharp turns when
driving with snow chains.
•
The handling of the vehicle can be
adversely affected when driving with
chains. Avoid fast or sharp turns as well
as locked wheel braking.
