Snow chains

The snow chains must be fitted only to the rear wheels (vehicle with rear wheel drive).
Take account of the legislation in force
in your country on the use of snow
chains and the maximum running speed
authorised.
It is strongly recommended that before
you leave, you practise fitting the snow
chains on a level and dry surface.
Use only the chains designed to be fitted to the
type of wheel fitted to your vehicle:

For more information on snow chains,

Advice on installation

journey, stop the vehicle on a flat surface
on the side of the road.
F Apply the parking brake and position any
wheel chocks to prevent movement of your
vehicle.
F Fit the chains following the instructions
provided by the manufacturer.
F Move off gently and drive for a few
moments, without exceeding 30 mph

(50 km/h).
F Stop your vehicle and check that the snow
chains are correctly tightened.
Avoid driving with snow chains on roads
that have been cleared of snow, to
avoid damaging your vehicle's tyres and
the road surface. If your vehicle is fitted
with alloy wheels, check that no part of
the chain or its fixings is in contact with
the wheel rim.
