Driving Tips

Check local regulations before using tyre chains.

 

---

• Chains may affect handling.

• Do not go faster than 50 km/h (30 mph) or the chain manufacturer's recommended limit, whichever is lower.

• Drive carefully and avoid bumps, holes, and sharp turns.

• Avoid locked-wheel braking.

• Do not use chains on a temporary spare tyre; it may result in damage to the vehicle and to the tyre.

• Do not use chains on roads that are free of snow or ice. The tyres and chains could be damaged.

• Chains may scratch or chip aluminium wheels.
