208 STARTING AND OPERATING
NOTE: Chains must be the proper size for the vehicle,
as recommended by the chain manufacturer.
Snow chains should only be driven on snow-covered
roads at speeds not to exceed 30 mph (50 km/h).
Remove chains as soon as possible when driving on
roads without snow.
NOTE: When driving with snow chains, you may wish
to deactivate the ASR before setting the vehicle in
motion. This will improve the vehicle’s traction.
Please observe the following guidelines when using
snow chains:
• Snow chains should only be used on rear wheels. In
vehicles with dual rear wheels, they should be
mounted on the exterior wheels. Follow the
manufacturer’s mounting instructions.
• Only use snow chains that are approved by the
vehicle manufacturer. For approved snow chains,
please contact your authorized Sprinter Dealer.
• Use of snow chains may be prohibited depending
on location. Always check local and state laws
before installing snow chains.
WARNING!
Use snow chains on rear wheels only.
Some tire sizes do not leave adequate clearance for
snowchains. To help avoid serious damage to
your vehicle or tires, use of snow chains is not
permissible with the spare wheel.
