WHEELS AND TYRES

Tread depth
Road conditions with ice, slush and low tempera-
tures place considerably higher demands on tyres
than summer conditions. Volvo therefore recom-
mends not to drive on winter tyres that have a
tread depth of less than 4 mm (0.15 inches).

Snow chains
Use of snow chains and/or winter tyres can help
to improve the traction in winter conditions.
WARNING
Use Volvo genuine snow chains or equivalent
chains designed for the car model, and tyre
and rim dimensions. Only
single-sided
snow
chains are permitted.
In the event of uncertainty about the show
chain, Volvo recommends that an authorised
Volvo workshop should be contacted. The
wrong snow chains may cause serious dam-
age to the car and lead to an accident.
Snow chains can be used on the car with the
following restrictions:
•
Volvo does not recommend the use of
show chains on wheel dimensions
greater than 18 inches.
•
Always follow the mounting instructions
from the manufacturer carefully. Fit the
chains as tensioned as possible and ten-
sion them at regular intervals.
•
Snow chains must only be used on the
front wheels (also applies to all-wheel
drive cars).
•
In some cases, snow chains must NOT
be used, such as if accessory, aftermar-
ket or "special" tyres and wheels are fit-
ted that have a different size to the origi-
nal tyres and wheels. Sufficient distance
must be maintained between the chains
and brakes, suspension and body compo-
nents.
•
Check local regulations with regard to
using snow chains before fitting them.
•
Never exceed the chain manufacturer's
specified maximum speed. You must
never exceed 50 km/h (30 mph) under
any circumstances.
•
Avoid bumps, holes or sharp turns when
driving with snow chains.
