Remove any central wheel trims before fitting
snow chains.
Use of snow chains with the emergency
wheel or inflatable spare wheel installed
For technical reasons, the use of snow chains
on the emergency wheel and the inflatable
spare wheel is not permitted.
•
If a rear wheel fails, fit the emergency wheel
or inflatable spare wheel on the front axle.
•
Switch the damaged rear wheel with the
wheel on the front axle that is left free. When
doing so, take into account the tyre rotation
direction.
CUPRA recommends fitting the chains to the
wheel before installing the wheel.
WARNING
The use of unsuitable or incorrectly fitted
chains could lead to serious accidents and
damage.
• Always the appropriate snow chains.
• Observe the fitting instructions provided
by the snow chain manufacturer.
•
Never exceed the maximum permitted
speeds when driving with snow chains.
NOTICE
• Remove the snow chains to drive on roads
without snow. Otherwise they will impair ve-
hicle handling, damage the tyres and wear
out very quickly.
• Wheel rims may be damaged or scratched
if the chains come into direct contact with
them. CUPRA recommends the use of coated
snow chains.

keep them out of the danger zone (e.g. behind
the guard rail).
