Use of Snow Chain
When you drive the vehicle in a severe environment such as
snowy or icy roads in winter, use snow chains to increase tire
friction and reduce side-slip. For the use of snow chains, the
following suggestions must be followed:
─
When driving in deep snow, it is necessary to install snow
chains on the tires. To install snow chains, you must
choose an equivalent of a size and type that matches the
specifications of the tires on your vehicle.
─
Emergency braking on snowy and icy condition can cause
the vehicle to skid. Maintain a proper safe distance from
the vehicle in front of you and press the brake pedal
lightly, noting that the snow chains installed on the
tires can provide some friction, but cannot prevent the
occurrence of sideslip.
Caution
●
Snow chains installed on your tires can ensure that
you can drive in a balanced manner in all types of
weather. It should be borne in mind that the vehicle
may not have enough traction after installing the
chains. Drive carefully, even when the road conditions
are good. Do not exceed the speed limit of the tire
snow chains, or exceed 50km/h, subjected to the
lower.
●
If snow chains are fitted to the tires, the size and type
of chains should comply with the standard tires on the
vehicle, otherwise the safety and handling of driving
the vehicle will be adversely affected.
●
Snow chains need to be installed in pairs on the front
tires.
●
Do not use snow chains on dry ground, and remove
the chains when you drive to a snow-free road.
●
After installing the snow chains as close as possible
to the tires and driving 0.5-1.0 km, tighten the chains
again.
