Range Rover: Using snow chains
WARNING
Only use traction devices in heavy snow conditions, on hard road surfaces.
Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) must be switched off when using traction devices.
Never exceed 30 mph (50 km/h) when traction devices are fitted.
Never fit traction devices to a temporary use spare wheel.
Land Rover approved traction devices may be used to improve traction on a hard road surface in heavy snow conditions. They should not be used in off-road conditions.
If it becomes necessary to fit traction devices, the following points must be observed:
- • No traction devices should be fitted to the rear wheels.
- • Single sided spikes-spider traction devices can be fitted to the front wheels of vehicles fitted with 18, 19 or 20 inch diameter wheels.
- • The wheels and tires fitted must conform to the specifications of the original equipment.
- • Only Land Rover approved traction devices should be used on the vehicle. Only Land Rover approved traction devices have been tested to ensure that they do not cause damage to the vehicle. Contact your Land Rover Retailer/Authorized Repairer for information.
- • Always read, understand and follow the traction device manufacturer's instructions. Pay particular attention to the maximum speed and fitting instructions.
- • Avoid tire/vehicle damage, by removing the traction devices as soon as the conditions allow.
