Driving safety features
• When using the M+S tyres, use tyres with the same tread produced by the same
manufacturer for safe driving.
• When driving with the M+S tyres with the lower maximum allowable speed than that
of the vehicle's standard summer tyre, be careful not to exceed the speed allowed
for the M+S tyres.
Snow tyres
If you mount snow tyres on your vehicle, make sure they are radial tyres of the same
size and load range as the original tyres. Mount snow tyres on all four wheels to bal
ance your vehicle's handling in all weather conditions. Keep in mind that the traction
provided by snow tyres on dry roads may not be as high as the traction provided by
the tyres originally installed on your vehicle. You should drive cautiously even when
the roads are clear. Check with the tyre dealer for maximum speed recommenda
tions.
Do not install studded tyres without first checking all applicable regulations for possi
ble restrictions on their use.
WARNING
Snow tyres should be equivalent in size and type to the vehicle's standard tyres. Oth
erwise, the safety and handling of your vehicle may be adversely affected.
Tyre chains
OMV063037L
Because the sidewalls of radial tyres are thinner, they can be damaged by mounting
some types of snow chains on them. Therefore, the use of snow tyres is recommend
ed instead of snow chains. Do not mount tyre chains on vehicles equipped with alu
minium wheels; snow chains may cause damage to the wheels.
Damage to your vehicle caused by improper snow chain use is not covered by your
vehicle manufacturer's warranty.
When using tyre chains, attach them to the drive wheels as follows.
