DRIVING YOUR CAR
SNOW CHAINS
The use of snow chains is regulated
by the legislation in force in the coun-
try the car is driven in.
The chains may only be applied to
the drive wheel tyres (front wheels).
Use only low profile chains (maxi-
mum height off the tyre: 12 mm).
We recommend using Lineaccessori
Fiat snow chains.
Check the tautness of the chains af-
ter driving some ten metres.
Keep you speed down
when snow chains have
been fitted to the wheels.
Avoid potholes, steps and pave-
ments, and do not drive for long
stretches on snow-free roads,
otherwise you risk damaging the
tyres, suspension and steering.
IMPORTANT Do not fit snow
chains on a space-saver spare wheel.
If a front wheel (drive wheel) is punc-
tured and you require snow chains to
proceed, take a standard wheel from
the rear axle and fit the space-saver
spare wheel in its place. Having fitted
two standard wheels on the front
drive axle, you can use snow chains,
thus solving the emergency situation.
