▼ Tyre Chains
Check local regulations before using tyre
chains.
CAUTION
Chains may affect handling.
Do not go faster than 50 km/h (30 mph)
or the chain manufacturer's
recommended limit, whichever is lower.
Drive carefully and avoid bumps, holes,
and sharp turns.
Avoid locked-wheel braking.
Do not use chains on a temporary spare
tyre; it may result in damage to the
vehicle and to the tyre. In some models,
the vehicle is not equipped with a factory
installed temporary spare tyre.
Do not use chains on roads that are free
of snow or ice. The tyres and chains could
be damaged.
Chains may scratch or chip aluminium
wheels.
NOTE
If your vehicle is equipped with the tyre
pressure monitoring system, the system
may not function correctly when using tyre
chains.
Install the chains on the front tyres only.
Do not use chains on the rear tyres.
