Fitting new tyres
For your safety and to
comply with the law.
When they need to be
replaced, only tyres of
the same make, size, type and
profile should be used on a single
axle.
They must either have a load
capacity and speed rating at
least equal to those of the origi
nal tyres, or conform to those
recommended by an authorised
dealer.
Failure to heed these instructions
could endanger your safety and

Chains
For safety reasons, fitting snow
chains to the rear axle is strictly for
bidden.
Chains cannot be fitted to tyres
which are larger than those originally

a specific direction of rotation and a

lower than the maximum speed for
your vehicle.
