Snow Chains - Skoda Citigo Owner's Manual

For the sake of the environment
Fit the summer tyres on again in good time as they provide better handling prop-
erties, a shorter braking distance, less tyre noise, reduced tyre wear and lower
fuel consumption on roads which are free of snow and ice as well as at tempera-
tures above 7 °C.

Snow chains

ä
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 119.
Snow chains must only be mounted on the front wheels.
When driving on wintry roads, snow chains improve not only traction, but also the
braking performance.
For technical reasons, it is only permissible to fit snow chains with the following
wheel/tyre combinations.
Tyre size
165/70 R14
Only fit snow chains with links and locks not larger than 15 mm.
Remove the full wheel trims before installing the snow chains.
Observe the national legal regulations relating to the use of snow chains and the
maximum vehicle speed with snow chains.
CAUTION
The chains must be removed when driving on roads which are free of snow. They
adversely affect the handling of your vehicle, damage the tyres and are rapidly
destroyed.
