Snow chains
Warning!
Risk of damage to body, axle or brake com-
ponents.
f Use only the fine-link snow chains recommen-
ded and authorized by Porsche so that
sufficient clearance between the wheel well
and the chain is assured.
f Please see the chapter "TIRES, RIMS, TRACKS"
on Page 350.
f Follow instructions issued by the supplier of
the chains.
The best possible handling characteristics are
achieved when snow chains are fitted on all four
wheels of the vehicle. However, it is also possible
to fit snow chains on only one axle (preferably the
rear axle).
f Remove spacers if 18 inch tires, snow chains
or a collapsible spare wheel are mounted.
Caution!
Risk of damage to wheel housings if the
spacers on the rear axle are not removed
before fitting the snow chains.
f 17 mm spacers must always be removed from
the rear axle when snow chains are to be fitted.
f For information on the spacers:
Please see the chapter "SPACERS" on
Page 293.
Please see the chapter "CHANGING A WHEEL
WITH REMOVAL OF 17 MM SPACER" on
Page 303.
f Before fitting chains, remove accumulated ice
and snow from the wheel well.
f Vehicles with snow chains must not be driven
faster than 30 mph (50 km/h).
Different states and countries have varying statu-
tory requirements regarding maximum speed.
f Check with local authorities for possible
restrictions.
f Remove chains as soon as the roads are free
of ice and snow.
