TYRES
(continued)
Use in winter
• Chains
For safety reasons, fitting chains
on the rear axle is absolutely
forbidden.
Fitting tyres larger than those
originally fitted
makes the use of
chains impossible.
The use of snow chains is
only possible with tyres of
the same size as those
originally fitted to
your
car
.
Special feature of emergency spare
wheel for temporary use:
chains
cannot be fitted to these
wheels.
If one of the front tyres is
punctured, it is therefore
essential
to fit one of the rear wheels to
replace the punctured wheel and to
fit the emergency spare wheel in
place of the rear wheel.
•
“Snow” or winter tyres
We recommend that these are
fitted to all
four wheels
to ensure
that your car retains maximum
road holding.
Note:
these tyres may sometimes
have:
- A specific direction of travel.
- A maximum speed which may
be lower than the maximum
speed of your car.
•
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 axle wheels.
In all cases, we would 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 car.
