Winter Tyres

Because of the limited winter
qualification of summer tyres we
recommend the use of winter tyres
(M S tyres) on snowy and icy roads.
If M S tyres are installed, all 4
wheels should be equipped to insure
safe driving. Use only tyres of the
same brand with the same profile.
Pay attention to the tyre size, load
capacity and speed class when
buying.
On European models
Install the winter tyres according to
the remarks in the registration paper.
According to the EEC Directive for
tyres, when winter tyres are used, it
is necessary to affix a sticker with
the allowable max. speed of the
winter tyres clearly in the field of
view of the driver, if the max.
designed speed of the car is higher
than the allowed max. speed of the
winter tyre. A sticker is obtainable
from your tyre dealer. If any
questions arise, please discuss these
with one of our dealers.

Tyre Chains

Use snow chains only in an
emergency or when they are legally
required for driving through a
certain area. Install the snow chains
on the front wheels. Use greater
caution when driving with snow
chains on snow or ice. They may
have less-predictable handling than
good winter tyres without chains.
Some snow chains may damage the
car's tyres, wheels, suspension and
body. Choose only fine linked chains
which guarantee enough free space
between the tyre and the other
vehicle parts in the wheelhouse. Pay
attention to the sectional assembly
view and other directions from the
chain manufacturer. Consult your
dealer before purchasing any type of
chains for your car.
