How to correctly fit snow chains on your
vehicle
-
Correct fitting chains must always be carried during the
official snow season in any alpine area; note that four-wheel drive
vehicles are not exempt from this rule
-
Chains must be fitted at the designated chain fitting bays or when
directed by resort staff
-
Chains should be fitted in pairs as follows:
� Front
wheel drive - fit chains on front wheels
� Rear
wheel drive - fit chains on rear wheel drive
� Four-wheel
drive - fit chains on front wheels
What is the correct axle position of snow
chains on 4-wheel drive vehicles?
A four-wheel drive with all 4 wheels engaged
should have the chains at least
fitted to the front wheels to assist both with steering and traction.
The only
exception to the fitting of chains to the front wheels is when the
vehicle
manufacturer specifically states in the owner's manual that snow chains
can only
be fitted to the rear wheels because of under body or suspension
clearance
requirements.
