Operation Manual

237Wheels, tyres
Wheel trim on steel wheels could come into
contact with parts of the chain and be
damaged. Remove the wheel trim – see
page 257.
Tyre chains may only be used at speeds up
to 50 km/h and, when travelling on roads
that are free of snow, they may be used for
brief periods only since they are subject to
rapid wear on a hard road and may snap.
Temporary spare wheel
Tyre chains must not be used on the
temporary spare wheel. If you need to use
tyre chains after suffering a flat front tyre,
fit the temporary spare on the rear axle
and transfer one of the rear wheels to the
front axle.
