Kia pride 1997 - Snow Tyres; Tyre Chains

SNOW TYRES
When snow tyres are used, select the
size and construction specified on the
tyre pressure chart label. It is strongly
recommended that snow tyres be used
on all four wheels, or poor handling
may result. Snow tyres should not be
operated at speeds exceeding 120 km/h
(75 mph). These tyres should be inflated
0.3kg f/cm (4psi, 28kpa) above the recom-
mended pressures shown on the tyre
pressure chart, but inflation should never
exceed the maximum cold-tyre pressure
shown on tyre side walls.
WARNING!
Snow tyres should be equivalent in
size and type to the vehicles stan-
dard tyres. Otherwise, the safety
and handling of your vehicle may
be adversely affected.
NOTE
Do not install studded tyres without first
checking local regulations for possible
restrictions.

Tyre Chain Selection
Regulations regarding the use of tyre
chains vary according to location or type
of road, so always check them before

Chain Installation
When installing chains on your tyres,
carefully follow the instructions of the
chain manufacturer.
The chain bands will scratch the wheel
covers. Remove the covers before
installing the chains.
Install the proper size chains on the front
tyres as tightly as possible. (no slack) with
ends securely restrained. If any contact of
the chains against the vehicle is heard,
stop and retighten the chains. Retighten
the chains after driving 0.5~1.0 km.(0.
25~0.5 mile).
CAUTION
e The use of chains may adversely
affect vehicle handling.
e Do not exceed 50 km/h (30 mph) or
the chain manufacturer's recom-
mended speed limits, whichever is
lower.
e Drive carefully and avoid bumps,
holes, and sharp turns, which may
cause the vehicle to bounce.
e Avoid sharp turns or locked-wheel
braking.
