The essentials
Check that they are correctly seated after
driving for a few yards; correct the position if
necessary, in accordance with the manufac-
turer's fitting instructions. Keep your speed
below 50 km/h (30 mph).
If there is a danger of being trapped despite
having mounted the chains, it is best to disa-
ble the driving wheels (ASR) in the ESC

Snow chains will improve
braking ability
as
well as
traction
in winter conditions.
For technical reasons snow chains may only
be used with the following wheel rim/tyre
combination.
215/60 R16
Chains with links of maximum 15 mm
215/55 R17
Chains with links of maximum 15 mm
215/50 R18
Chains with links of maximum 15 mm
Other dimensions do not allow chains
Remove any central wheel trims and the rim
ring before fitting snow chains.
Remove the chains when roads are free of
snow. Driving characteristics worsen, and the
wheels become damaged quickly and may
even be rendered unusable.
Emergency towing of the ve-
hicle
Towing
Fig. 80

anchorage screwed in.
Fig. 81
Right side of the rear bumper: towline
anchorage screwed in.
Towline anchorages
Attach the bar or rope to the towline ancho-
rages.
The towline anchorages are located under
the floor panel in the luggage compartment,
next to the vehicle tools
›››
Screw the towline anchorage into the screw
connection
and tight-
en it with the wheel brace.
Tow rope or tow bar
The tow bar offers increased safety and a
lower risk of damage.
The tow rope is recommended when there is
no tow bar. It must be elastic so that it does
not damage the vehicle.
Notes for the driver of the towing vehicle
●
The tow rope must be taut before you drive
off.
●
Release the clutch very carefully when
starting the vehicle (manual gearbox), or ac-
celerate gently (automatic gearbox).
Driving style
Towing requires some experience, especially
when using a tow
rope
. Both drivers should
realise how difficult it is to tow a vehicle. Inex-
perienced drivers should not attempt to tow.
