TYRES
Use in winter
Snow or Winter tyres
We would recommend that these be fitted to all four wheels to ensure that your vehicle retains maximum adhesion. Warning: These tyres sometimes have a specific direction of rotation and 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.
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.
Emergency spare wheel
If the vehicle is equipped with this, it will be located in the luggage compartment.
Snow chains may only be fitted to tyres of the same size as those originally fitted to your vehicle.
19” wheels can only be fitted with chains by using special devices or equipment. Consult an approved dealer.
Changing a wheel
As the tyre pressure monitor may take several minutes to correctly determine the positions of the wheels and the pressure values after driving, check the tyre pressures following any operation.
In all cases, we would recommend that you contact an authorised dealer who will be able to advise you on the choice of equipment which is most suitable for your vehicle.
The emergency spare wheel is only to be fitted in place of one of the rear wheels.
If one of the front wheels is punctured, fit the emergency spare wheel on the rear wheel on the side of the puncture and switch the rear wheel to the front.
