Volkswagen Golf Service & Repair Manual: Snow chains
Assembly and use of snow chains |
Snow chains must be fitted to driven wheels only. |
On all-wheel drive vehicles, however, only the front wheels
may be fitted with snow chains. |
It is not possible to use snow chains with all wheel and
tyre combinations. Notes on this can be found in the vehicle
tables of the certificate statement. |
If no particular type of snow chain is specified, then
small-link chains may be used. These, including the chain
fastener, may not protrude more than 15 mm beyond the wheel's
tread and the inner wall. |
On some models, only special, small-link chains are possible
with certain wheel and tyre combinations. Notes on this can be
found in the vehicle tables of the certificate statement. |
The maximum speed permitted by law when driving with snow
chains is 50 km/h. |
Snow chains should be removed when there is no snow on the
road. There is no point in having them on the wheels, as they
adversely affect the vehicle's handling. It causes unnecessary
stress on the tyres and above average wear on the chains. |
