SNOW CHAINS
47)
The use of snow chains should be in
compliance with local regulations. The
snow chains may be applied only onto the
front wheel (drive wheels).
Check the tension of the snow chains
after the first few metres have been
driven.
Use low-clearance snow chains: for tyres
185/65 R15 88H (where provided),
195/55 R16 and 205/55 R16, use
low-clearance snow chains with a
maximum projection beyond the tyre
profile of 9 mm.
IMPORTANT The space-saver wheel
cannot be fitted with snow chains. If a
front (drive) wheel is punctured and snow
chains must be used, you must remove a
normal wheel from the rear axle and
replace it with the space-saver wheel. In
this way, with two normal drive wheels, it
is possible to use snow chains.
WARNING
146) The maximum speed for snow tyres
marked "Q" is 160 km/h, while it is 190 km/h
for "T" tyres and 210 km/h for "H" tyres. The
highway code speed limits must however
always be complied with.

147) DO NOT fit wheel hub caps when using
integral hub caps fixed (with springs) to the
steel rim and after sale tyres provided with
Rim Protector. Use of unsuitable tyres and
wheel caps may cause sudden decrease of
tyre pressure.
IMPORTANT
47) Keep the vehicle's speed down when
snow chains are fitted; never exceed
50 km/h. Avoid potholes, steps and
pavements and avoid driving long distances
on roads not covered with snow to avoid
damaging the car and the roadbed.
