Winter tyres
3
For notes on fitting new tyres – see
page 215.
See page 299 for restrictions.
Winter tyres improve safety at
temperatures below 7 °C and should
therefore be fitted on all the wheels.
The design of summer tyres means they
have limited qualities for winter driving.
If the maximum permissible speed for the
winter tyres is less than that of the vehicle,
a notice indicating the maximum
permissible speed for the tyres must be
affixed within the driver’s field of vision
1)
.
If you use the spare wheel when it is fitted
with a summer tyre, the vehicle’s
driveability may be affected, especially on
slippery road surfaces. Obtain a
replacement for the faulty tyre as soon as
possible, and have the wheel balanced
and fitted to the vehicle.
Wheel trims
3
If the wheel trims and tyres used are not
Vauxhall-approved, make sure that the
tyres do not have a beaded edge, see
page 215.

Tyre chains
3
Limitations and further information
– see page 299.
Tyre chains are only permitted on the drive
wheels (front axle).
Always use fine mesh chains that add no
more than 10 mm to the tyre tread and the
inboard sides (including chain lock).
We recommend that you consult your
Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.
Wheel trim on steel wheels could come into
contact with parts of the chain and be
damaged. Remove the wheel trim
– see page 239.
Tyre chains may only be used at speeds up
to 30 mph (50 km/h)
1)
. When driving on
roads that are free of snow, they may only
be used for brief periods since they are
subject to rapid wear on hard roads and
could snap.
Temporary wheel
3
Tyre chains must not be used on the
temporary spare wheel. If you need to use
tyre chains after suffering a flat front tyre,
fit the temporary spare on the rear axle
and transfer one of the rear wheels to the
front axle.
For notes on the temporary spare wheel
– see page 237.
Wheel changing – see page 238.
