Press down the clutch pedal with your fingers until initial
resistance is felt.
This distance should be within the specified range.
If the clutch pedal free play is not within the standard range, we
recommend you to have it checked.
●
Do not install a tyre chain on an emergency wheel
which is compact in size. If one of the front wheels
has punctured, replace it with one of the rear wheels
and install the compact spare wheel in that place
before fitting a tyre chain.
●
An aluminium wheel can be damaged by a tyre
chain while driving. When fitting a tyre chain on an
aluminium wheel, take care that any part of the
chain and fitting cannot be brought into contact
with the wheel.
●
Remove the wheel covers before installing a tyre
chain, otherwise they may be damaged by the tyre
chain. (Refer to “Wheel covers” on page 6-33.)
●
When installing or removing a tyre chain, take care
that hands and other parts of your body are not
injured by the sharp edges of the vehicle body.
●
Install the chains only on the front tyres and tighten
them as tightly as possible with the ends securely
fastened.
