tyres
(3/3)
use in winter
– chains
For safety reasons, fitting snow
chains to the rear axle is strictly
forbidden.
chains cannot be fitted to tyres
which are larger than those originally
fitted to the vehicle.
Chains may only be fitted
to tyres of the same size
as those originally fitted to
your vehicle.
Chains may be fitted, provided that
they are specific chains. We would
advise you to consult an approved
dealer.
– snow or winter tyres
We would recommend that these be
fitted to all four wheels to ensure
that your vehicle retains maximum
adhesion.
nB: We would point out that these
tyres may sometimes have:
– a specific direction of rotation,
– 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 necessary 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.
changing a wheel
As the tyre pressure moni-
tor may take several min-
utes following driving to cor-
rectly determine the positions of the
wheels and the pressure values,
check the tyre pressures following
any operation.
