Snow chains
Snow chains can be used on your Volvo with the following restrictions:
• Snow chains should be installed on front
wheels only. Use only Volvo approved
snow chains.
• If accessory, aftermarket or "custom" tires
and wheels are installed and are of a size
different than the original tires and wheels,
chains in some cases CANNOT be used.
Sufficient clearances between chains and
brakes, suspension and body components
must be maintained.
• Some strap-on type chains will interfere
with brake components and therefore
CANNOT be used.
• All Wheel Drive models: Snow chains
should only be installed on the front
wheels.
• Certain size tires may not allow the assembly
of snow chains/traction devices.
Consult your Volvo retailer for additional snow chain information.
CAUTION
• Check local regulations regarding the
use of snow chains before installing.
• Always follow the chain manufacturer's
installation instructions carefully. Install
chains as tightly as possible and
retighten periodically.
• Never exceed the chain manufacturer's
specified maximum speed limit. (Under
no circumstances should you exceed
31 mph (50 km/h)).
• Avoid bumps, holes or sharp turns
when driving with snow chains.
• The handling of the vehicle can be
adversely affected when driving with
chains. Avoid fast or sharp turns as well
as locked wheel braking.
