SNOW CHAINS
Use of snow chains should be in com-
pliance with local regulations.
Snow chains should only be applied
to the driving wheels (front wheels).
We recommend using Lineaccessori
Lancia snow chains.
Check the tension of the chains after
driving some ten metres.
IMPORTANT Snow chains cannot be
fitted to the space-saver spare wheel.
So, if a front (drive) wheel is punc-
tured and chains are needed, a rear
wheel should be fitted to the front of
the vehicle and the spare wheel should
be fitted to the rear. This way with
two normal drive wheels, snow chains
can be fitted to them to solve an
emergency.

Refer to the above mentioned table for information on the wheels
where snow chains can be fitted. Follow the prescriptions.
Keep your speed down when snow chains are fitted. Do not
exceed 50 km/h. Avoid potholes, steps and pavements and
avoid also to drive for long distances on roads not covered
with snow to prevent damaging the car and the roadbed.
