For your safety, please re-
spect the speed limit.
When they need to be re-
placed, only tyres of the
same make, size, type and profile
should be used on a single axle.
They must either have a load ca-
pacity and speed rating at least
equal to those of the original
tyres, or be recommended by an
authorised dealer.
Failure to heed these instructions
could endanger your safety and
affect your vehicle's roadworthi-

chains to the rear axle is strictly for-

chains cannot be fitted to tyres which
are larger than those originally fitted to

An one-way tyre must only be fitted in
one direction. You must observe this di-
rection.
If an one-way tyre must be fitted in the
opposite to its direction of rotation fol-

particularly on a wet road, because the
tyre specifications will not be adapted.

snow or winter tyres
We would recommend that these be
fitted to all four wheels to ensure that
your vehicle retains maximum adhe-

warning: These tyres sometimes have
a specific direction of rotation and 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 neces-
sary to observe the speed specified by
current legislation.
These tyres must, at a minimum, be
fitted to the two front wheels.
In all cases, we would recommend
that you contact an approved Dealer
who will be able to advise you on
the choice of equipment which is
most suitable for your vehicle.
