Operating in winter conditions

All-year (or "winter") tyres
All-year or "winter"tyres (indicated by an M+S or a mountain peak/snowflake
symbol ) to improve the performance of the vehicle in winter conditions.
To get the best possible driving characteristics, all-year or "winter"tyres, with a
minimum tread depth of 4 mm on all four wheels, should be fitted.
If "winter" tyres are mounted, summer tyres should be fitted again in good
time as they provide better handling properties, a shorter braking distance,
less tyre noise and reduced tyre wear on roads which are free of snow and ice
as well as at temperatures above 7 °C.
Speed symbol
All-year or "winter"tyres (marked with M+S and a peak/snowflake symbol ) of
a lower speed category than listed in the vehicle's technical documentation
can be used provided that the maximum permissible speed for these tyres is
not exceeded even if the maximum possible speed of the vehicle is higher.
If the vehicle has all-season or "winter"tires of a lower speed category, as the
specified maximum speed of the vehicle is (does not apply to factory-supplied
83
tire), a warning sign with the maximum value provided for the mounted tire
speed rating must be affixed inside the vehicle and at a place in the driver's
487
field of vision which is constantly visible. This specification determines the
maximum vehicle speed with mounted all-season or "winter"tires, that may
not be exceeded .

Snow chains
H
The snow chains improve handling in wintry road conditions.
Only fit snow chains with links and locks not larger than 15 mm. Remove the
210
full wheel trims before installing the snow chains
Snow chains must only be fitted on the front wheels and are applicable only to
the following wheel / tyre combinations.
