Other information:
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve
traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle
when braking.
The snow chains must be
fitted only to
the front wheels. They must never be
fitted to "space-saver" type spare wheels.
Take account of the
legislation specific to
each country on the use of snow chains
and the maximum authorised speed...
(Depending on version.)
On versions fitted with an electric oil level
indicator, the engine oil level status is displayed
on the instrument panel for a few seconds upon
switching the ignition on, after the servicing
information.
The level read will only be
correct if the
vehicle is on level ground and the engine
has been off for more than 30 minutes...
