TYRES (continued)
Use in winter
• Chains
For safety reasons, chains must
never be fitted to the wheels on
the rear axle.
Chains must not be fitted to tyres
which are larger than those
originally fitted to the vehicle.
Chainsmayonlybefitted
to tyres of the same size
as those originally fitted
to your vehicle.
• “Snow” or winter tyres
We recommend that these are
fitted to all four wheels to ensure
that your vehicle retains
maximum road holding.
Note: These tyres sometimes
have:
- a specific direction of rotation
- a maximum speed which may
be lower than the maximum
speed of your vehicle.
• Studded tyres
This type of equipment may only
be used for a limited period and
as laid down by local legislation.
It is necessary to keep to the speed
specified by current legislation.
As a minimum, these tyres may be
fitted to the two front wheels.
In all cases, we recommend that
you consult your Renault Dealer,
who will be able to advise you on
the choice of equipment which is
most suitable for your vehicle.
