TYRES

Winter use
• Snow chains
For safety reasons, fitting snow
chains to the rear axle is strictly
forbidden.
Chains cannot be fitted to tyres
which are larger
originally fitted to the vehicle.
Chains may only be fitted
to tyres of the same size as
those originally fitted to
your vehicle.
Only certain chains can be fitted
to tyres. We recommend that you
contact your RENAULT Dealer.
Special note on versions fitted
with 18" wheels: snow chains
may not be fitted.
If you wish to fit snow chains, you
must use special equipment.
Contact your RENAULT Dealer.

• Winter or Thermorubber Tyres
We would recommend that these
be fitted to all four wheels to
ensure that your vehicle retains
maximum road holding.
Note: we would point out that
these tyres may sometimes have:
than those
- a direction of travel;
- a maximum speed index which
may be lower than the maximum
speed of your vehicle.
• Studded tyres
This type of equipment may only
be used for a limited period and as
laid down by local legislation.
It is necessary to observe the speed
specified by current legislation.
These tyres may be fitted to the
two front wheels as a minimum.
In all cases, we would recommend
that you contact your RENAULT
Dealer who will be able to advise
you on the choice of equipment
which is most suitable for your
vehicle.
