Snow chains
Snow chains may be fitted only to the front wheels, and only for the following
tyres:
175/70R14
Chains with links not exceeding 15 mm (including the
185/60R15
chain closure)
215/45R16
Chains with links not exceeding 9 mm (including the
chain closure)
215/40R17
Chains with links not exceeding 7mm (including the
chain closure)
Remove wheel hub covers and trim rings before fitting snow chains. For safety
reasons cover caps, available in any Authorised Service Centre, must then be
fitted over the wheel bolts.
WARNING
Snow chains should be correctly tightened in accordance with the manu-
facturer's instructions. This will prevent the chains coming into contact
with the wheel housing.
Caution
You must remove the snow chains to drive on roads which are free of snow.
Otherwise they will impair handling, damage the tyres and wear out very
quickly.
Note
In some countries, the speed limit for using snow chains is 50 km/h. The legal
requirements of the country should be followed.
