Winter tyres

3
For notes on fitting new tyres –
see page 132.
See page 205 for restrictions.
Winter tyres improve safety at
temperatures below 7 °C and should
therefore be fitted on all the wheels.
The design of summer tyres means they
have limited qualities for winter driving.
If the maximum permissible speed for the
winter tyres is less than that of the vehicle,
a notice indicating the maximum
permissible speed for the tyres must be
affixed within the driver's field of vision
Use of a spare wheel fitted with a summer
tyre may affect the vehicle's driveability,
especially on slippery road surfaces.
Obtain a replacement for the faulty tyre as
soon as possible, and have the wheel
balanced and fitted to the vehicle.

Tyre chains

3
See page 205 for restrictions.
Tyre chains are only permitted on the front
wheels. They must be fitted to the tyres
symmetrically in order to achieve a
concentric fit.
Always use fine mesh chains that add no
more than 10 mm to the tyre tread and the
inboard sides (including chain lock).
We recommend that you consult your
Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.
