so, before installing studded tires,
check the applicable laws in that
country or area.
Skid and traction capabilities of
studded snow tires, on wet or
dry surfaces, may be poorer
than that of non-studded snow
tires.
4. Snow chains may be used if
desired. Make sure they are
of proper size for the tires on
your vehicle and are installed
according to the chain
manufacturer’s suggestions.
Use chain tensioners when
recommended by the tire
chain manufacturer to ensure
a tight fit. Loose end links of
the tire chain must be
secured or removed to
prevent the possibility of
whipping action damage to
the fenders or undercarriage.
In addition, drive at a reduced
speed, otherwise, your
vehicle may be damaged
and/or vehicle handling and
performance may be
adversely affected.
SPECIAL WINTER EQUIPMENT
It is recommended that the
following items be carried in the
vehicle during winter:
1. A scraper and stiff-bristled
brush to remove ice and
snow from the windows.
2. A sturdy, flat board to be
placed under the jack to give
it firm support.
3. A shovel to dig the vehicle
out of snowdrifts.
CORROSION PROTECTION
Chemicals used for road surface
de-icing are extremely corrosive
and will accelerate corrosion and
the deterioration of underbody
components such as the exhaust
system, fuel and brake lines,
brake cables, floor pan and
fenders.
In winter, the underbody must
be cleaned periodically. For more
detailed information concerning
cleaning the exterior to protect it
from corrosion, please refer to the
“Appearance and interior care” of
this Manual.
For additional protection
against rust and corrosion, which
may be required in some areas,
consult your local PARSKHODRO
dealer.
