Snow chains

For safety reasons, fitting snow chains to the rear axle is strictly prohibited.

Fitting tyres larger than the original size makes it impossible to fit snow chains.

Snow chains can only be fitted to tyres of the same size as those originally fitted to your vehicle.

17" wheels cannot be fitted with snow chains.

If you wish to use chains, it is essential to use specific equipment.

Consult a Renault dealer.

"Snow" or "all-season" tyres

We recommend fitting tyres to all four wheels to preserve as much as possible the grip qualities of your vehicle.

Warning: these tyres sometimes have a direction of rotation and a maximum speed rating that may be lower than the maximum speed of your vehicle.

Studded tyres

This type of equipment may only be used for a limited period, as determined by local legislation. The speed limit set by the applicable regulations must be observed.

These tyres must be fitted to at least both wheels of the front axle.

In all cases, we recommend consulting a brand representative, who will advise you on the equipment best suited to your vehicle.
