(*) Tyres to which traditional chains cannot be fitted. Only "spider" type chains should be used.

Without prejudice to the recommended dimensions, it is vital for safety reasons that the vehicle is fitted with tyres of the same make and type on all wheels.

On 205/55 R16 and 215/55 R16 tyres, use smaller snow chains with a maximum projection of 9 mm beyond the tyre profile.

Only spider type snow chains can be fitted on 225/50 R17 type tyres.

Snow chains cannot be fitted to 235/45 R18 type tyres as they would interfere with the wing.

On 3.2 JTS versions the snow chains must be fitted on the FRONT axle of the vehicle.

The use of chains may be compulsory for vehicles with four wheel drive.

The wheels (rims and tyres) installed at the factory are the most suitable for the specifications of the vehicle and guarantee maximum safety and comfort in all normal driving conditions.

Before replacing rims or tyres fitted on the vehicle, consult the table for the permitted types.

Ensure that the rim-tyre combination fitted matches the original specification.

Always fit new replacement tyres and not any of dubious origin.

Do not use air chambers with tubeless tyres.
