Snow chains
Fine-link snow chains
Only certain types of fine-link snow chains have been tested by the manufacturer of your vehicle, classified as road-safe and recommended.
Consult your service center for more information.
Use
Use only in pairs on the rear wheels, equipped
with the tires of the following size:
▷ 205/60 R 16.
▷ 225/55 R 16.
▷ 225/50 R 17.
▷ 225/45 R 18.
Follow the chain manufacturer's instructions.
Make sure that the snow chains are always sufficiently tight. Retighten as needed according to the chain manufacturer's instructions.
Do not initialize the Flat Tire Monitor after mounting snow chains, as doing so may result in incorrect readings.
