WINTER DRIVING
Snowy or icy conditions
Snow tyres  
If you mount snow  tyres on your vehicle,
make  sure  they are  radial  tyres  of  the
same size and load range as the original
tyres.  Mount   snow   tyres   on  all   four
wheels  to  balance  your  vehicle’s  han-
dling  in all  weather  conditions. Keep  in
mind that  the traction  provided by  snow
tyres on dry roads may not be as high as
your  vehicle's  original equipment  tyres.
You  should drive  cautiously  even when
the roads  are clear. Check  with the  tyre
dealer  for  maximum speed  recommen-
dations.
To drive your vehicle in deep snow, it may
be  necessary  to  use  snow  tyres or  to
install tyre  chains on your  tyres. If snow
tyres  are   needed,  it   is  necessary   to
select tyres equivalent in size and type of
the original equipment tyres. Failure to do
so  may adversely  affect  the safety  and
handling  of  your  vehicle.  Furthermore,
speeding,   rapid   acceleration,   sudden
brake applications,  and  sharp turns  are
potentially very hazardous practices.
During deceleration,  use engine braking
to the fullest extent. Sudden  brake appli-
cations on snowy or icy roads may cause
skids  to occur.  You need  to  keep  suffi-
cient  distance   between  the  vehicle  in
operation in front  and your vehicle. Also,
apply the brake gently. It should be noted
that installing tyre  chains on the tyre will
provide  a greater  driving  force,  but will
not prevent side skids.

The  more severe  weather conditions  of
winter  result in  greater  wear  and other
problems. To  minimise  the  problems  of
winter  driving,  you  should  follow  these
suggestions:
WARNING - Snow  tyre size
Snow tyres should be equivalent in
size and type  to the vehicle's stan-
dard  tyres.  Otherwise,   the  safety
and  handling of  your  vehicle  may
be adversely affected.
NOTICE
Do not install studded tyres without first
checking local, state and municipal regu-
lations  for  possible  restrictions  against
their use.
Tyre chains are not legal in all countries.
Check  the  country  laws  before  fitting
tyre chains.
