speed limits when driving with snow chains.
Snow chains improve forward motion, traction
and braking characteristics under wintry
conditions.
Snow chains may be used only on the front
wheels. This applies also to vehicles with all-
wheel drive (4MOTION). Snow chains may be
used only in tire and wheel combinations that
have been approved by Volkswagen.
Please contact your authorized Volkswagen
dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service
Facility about appropriate wheel, tire and snow
chain dimensions.
If possible, use only chains with low profile links
