IMPORTANT Snow chains cannot be fitted to the
space-saver spare wheel. If the front tyre has a
puncture, replace a rear wheel with the spare wheel
and move the rear wheel to the front axle. This
way with two normal drive wheels, snow chains can
be fitted to them to solve an emergency.
IMPORTANT 225/40 R18 92V tyres cannot be
fitted with chains. Snow chains may cause
interference with the surrounding elements.
Keep your speed down when snow chains
are fitted; do not exceed 50 km/h. Avoid
potholes, steps and pavements and avoid
driving for long distances on roads not covered
with snow to prevent damaging the car and
the roadbed.
