Snow chains
Snow chains may only be used on the front
wheels. This also applies to all-wheel-drive
cars.
Never drive faster than 50 km/h with snow
chains. Avoid driving on bare ground as this
wears out both the snow chains and tyres.
Check that the snow chain does not make con-
tact anywhere and that it is correctly fitted and
well tensioned.
WARNING
Use Volvo genuine snow chains or equiva-
lent chains designed for the car model, and
tyre and rim dimensions. In the event of
uncertainty Volvo recommends that you
consult an authorised Volvo workshop. The
wrong snow chains may cause serious
damage to your car and lead to an accident.
Summer and winter wheels
G020325
The arrow shows the tyre's direction of rotation
When summer and winter wheels are changed,
see page 185, the wheels should be marked
with which side of the car they were mounted
on, for example
L for left and R for right. Tyres
with a tread pattern which are designed to only
turn in one direction have the direction of rota-
tion marked with an arrow. The tyre must
always rotate in the same direction throughout
its lifespan. Tyres should only be switched
between front and rear positions, never
between left and right-hand sides, or vice
versa. If the tyre is mounted incorrectly, the
car's braking characteristics and capacity to
force rain, snow and slush out of the way are
adversely affected. Tyres with the greatest
tread depth should always be fitted to the rear
of the car (to decrease the risk of skidding).
Volvo recommends that you contact an author-
ised Volvo workshop for checking if you are
uncertain about tread depth.
