TYRES (continued)
Use in winter
• Chains:
For safety reasons, fitting chains
to the rear axle is strictly
forbidden.
Fitting tyres larger than those
originally fitted to the car makes
it impossible to fit chains.
In all cases, we would
recommend that you consult
your Renault Dealer who will be
able to advise you on the choice
of equipment which is most
suitable for your vehicle.
Chains may only be fitted
to tyres of the same size as
those originally fitted to
your vehicle
but chains may not be fitted to the
following:
- tyre sizes: 235/50/17
- the limited use emergency wheel.
If one of the front wheels is
punctured and chains are fitted, it
is therefore essential to fit one of
the rear wheels to replace the
punctured wheel and to fit the
emergency spare wheel in place of
the rear wheel.
• “Snow” or winter tyres
We would recommend that these
be fitted to all four wheels to
ensure that your vehicle retains
maximum road holding.
Note: We would point out that
these tyres may sometimes have:
- A specific direction of rotation.
- A maximum speed 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.

specified by current legislation.
As a minimum, these tyres may be
fitted to the two front axle wheels.
