Snow chains

SNOW CHAINS
In wintry conditions, snow chains
improve traction as well as the
behaviour of the vehicle when braking.
The snow chains must be fi tted
only to the driving wheels. They
must never be fi tted to "space-
saver" type spare wheels.
Take account of the legislation in
force in your country on the use
of snow chains and the maximum
running speed authorised.
Advice on installation
) If you have to fi t the chains during
a journey, stop the vehicle on a fl at
surface on the side of the road.
) Apply the parking brake and
position any wheel chocks to
prevent movement of your vehicle.
) Fit the chains following the
instructions provided by the
manufacturer.
) Move off gently and drive for a
few moments, without exceeding
30 mph (50 km/h).
) Stop your vehicle and check that
the snow chains are correctly
tightened.
Avoid driving on roads that have
been cleared of snow, to avoid
damaging your vehicle's tyres and
the road surface. It is recommended
that before you leave, you practise
fi tting the snow chains on a level and
dry surface. If your vehicle is fi tted with
alloy wheels, check that no part of the
chain or its fi xings is in contact with the
wheel rim.
Use only the chains designed to be
fi tted to the type of wheel fi tted to your
vehicle:
