Always use winter tires at temperatures
below 45‡ (7†) and whenever wintry road

provide special winter performance. Make
sure the tires you use show the mountain/
snowflakeimarking on the tire sidewall.
These tires meet specific snow traction
performance requirements of the Rubber
Manufacturers Association (RMA) and the
Rubber Association of Canada (RAC) and
have been designed specifically for use in
snow conditions. Use of winter tires is the

G Warning!
The outside temperature indicator is not
designed to serve as an ice-warning device
and is therefore unsuitable for that purpose.
Snow chains should only be driven on snow-
covered roads at speeds not to exceed
30
mph (50 km/h). Remove chains as soon
as possible when driving on roads without
snow.
Observe the following guidelines when using
snow chains:

freezing point do not guarantee that the road
surface is free of ice. The road may still be icy,
especially in wooded areas or on bridges.
RUse of snow chains is not permissible with
all wheel/tire combinations (Y page 344).
G Warning!
On slippery road surfaces, never downshift in

wheels only. Follow the manufacturer’s
