Snow chains cannot be
fitted to the compact spare
wheel. So, if a front (drive)
wheel is punctured and chains are
needed, a rear wheel should be fit-
ted to the front of the vehicle (in-
flate the tyres to the specified pres-
sure as soon as possible) and the
spare wheel should be fitted to the
rear. This way, with two normal
drive wheels, snow chains can be
fitted to them to solve an emer-
gency.
SNOW CHAINS
The use of snow chains is regulated
by the legislation in force in the coun-
try the car is driven in.
Use only low profile chains with
maximum height off the tyre of
9 mm.
The chains may only be applied to
the drive wheel tyres (front wheels).
Before purchasing or using snow
chains, you should contact a
Lancia
Dealership
for advice.
Check the tautness of the chains af-
ter driving some ten metres.
The ABS system will not
control the trailer braking
system. Great care should
therefore be taken when driving on
slippery road surfaces.
Under no circumstances
modify the car’s braking
system for trailer braking
control. The trailer’s braking sys-
tem must be completely indepen-
dent of the car’s hydraulic system.
In order to be sure you are not ex-
ceeding the maximum towing weight
you have to take into account the
trailer’s fully laden weight, including
accessories and personal luggage.
Do not exceed the speed limits for
towing a trailer in the country you are
driving in.
Keep you speed
down when snow
chains are fitted.
Do not exceed 50 km/h. Avoid pot-
holes, steps and pavements to pre-
vent damaging the tyres, suspen-
sion and steering.
