Installation tips
►ꢀ To fit the snow chains during a journey, stop
the vehicle on a flat surface at the side of the
road.
Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve
traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle
when braking.
Drive gently: the vehicle will be more
susceptible to the effects of side winds and its
stability may be affected.
Regularly check the security and tight
fastening of the roof bars, at least before each
trip.
►ꢀ Apply the parking brake and position any
wheel chocks under the wheels to prevent
movement of the vehicle.
Snow chains must be fitted only to the
front wheels. They must never be fitted to
"space-saver" type spare wheels.
Remove the roof bars once they are no longer
needed.
►ꢀ Fit the snow chains following the instructions
provided by the manufacturer.
►ꢀ Move off gently and drive for a few moments,
without exceeding 31 mph (50 km/h).
►ꢀ Stop the vehicle and check that the snow
chains are correctly tightened.
Observe the legislation in force in your
country relating to the use of snow chains
and maximum authorised speeds.

and dry surface before setting off.
