The essentials
In winter road conditions, snow chains not
on
ly
help t
o improve grip but also improve
the braking capacity.
For technical reasons snow chains may only
be used on tyres with the following wheel
rim/tyre combinations.
Rim size Rim offset Tyre size
5J x 14
a)
35 mm 175/70
6J x 15
b)
38 mm 185/60
6J x 15
b)
38 mm 195/55
a)
Only use snow chains with fine-pitch links and lock no greater
than 9 mm.
b)
Only use snow chains with fine-pitch links and lock no greater
than 13 mm.
Remove the wheel trims before fitting snow
chains.
CAUTION
Chains must be removed when roads are free
of sno
w. Otherwise they will impair handling,
damage the tyres and wear out very quickly.

The tow bar offers increased safety and a
lower risk of damage.
The tow rope is recommended when there is
no tow bar. It must be elastic so that it does
not damage the vehicle.
