Snow chains
Snow chains can be used on your Volvo with
the following restrictions:
•
Snow chains should be installed on front
wheels only. Use only Volvo approved
snow chains.
•
If accessory, aftermarket or "custom"
tires and wheels are installed and are of a
size different than the original tires and
wheels, chains in some cases CANNOT
be used. Sufficient clearances between
chains and brakes, suspension and body
components must be maintained.
•
Some strap-on type chains will interfere
with brake components and therefore
CANNOT be used.
•
All Wheel Drive models
: Snow chains
should only be installed on the front
wheels.
•
Certain size tires may not allow the
assembly of snow chains/traction devi-
ces.
Consult your Volvo retailer for additional
snow chain information.
CAUTION
•
Check local regulations regarding the
use of snow chains before installing.
•
Use single-sided snow chains only.
•
Always follow the chain manufactur-
er's installation instructions carefully.
Install chains as tightly as possible and
retighten periodically.
•
Never exceed the chain manufactur-
er's specified maximum speed limit.
(Under no circumstances should you
exceed 31 mph (50 km/h).
•
Avoid bumps, holes or sharp turns
when driving with snow chains.
•
The handling of the vehicle can be
adversely affected when driving with
chains. Avoid fast or sharp turns as
well as locked wheel braking.

Tires for winter use:
•
Owners who live in or regularly commute
through areas with sustained periods of
snow or icy driving conditions are
strongly advised to fit suitable winter tires
to help retain the highest degree of trac-
tion.
•
It is important to install winter tires on all
four wheels to help retain traction during
cornering, braking, and accelerating. Fail-
ure to do so could reduce traction to an
unsafe level or adversely affect handling.
•
Do not mix tires of different design as this
could also negatively affect overall tire
road grip.
•
Winter tires wear more quickly on dry
roads in warm weather. They should be
removed when the winter driving season
has ended.
•
Studded tires should be run-in 300 –
600 miles (500 – 1000 km) during which
the vehicle should be driven as smoothly
as possible to give the studs the opportu-
nity to seat properly in the tires. The tires
should have the same rotational direction
throughout their entire lifetime.
NOTE
Please consult state or provincial regula-
tions restricting the use of studded winter
tires before installing such tires.
