FIAT Stilo - Manual (Page 156)

Keep your speed
down when snow
chains are fitted. Do
not exceed 50 Km/h. Avoid
potholes, steps and pavements and
avoid also to drive for long distances on
roads not covered with snow to prevent
damaging the car and the roadbed.

CORRECT USE OF THE CAR
SNOW CHAINS
Use of snow chains should be in compli-
ance with local regulations.
Snow chains should only be applied to the
driving wheels (front wheels).
Check the tension of the chains after the
first few metres have been driven.
Use snow chains with reduced size: on
tyres 195/65 R15” and 205/55 R16” use
snow chains with reduced size with max
protrusion beyond the tyre profile of 9
mm.
IMPORTANT Snow chains cannot be fit-
ted to the space-saver spare wheel. So, if
a front (drive) wheel is punctured and
chains are needed, a rear wheel should be
fitted to the front of the car and the spare
wheel should be fitted to the rear.
This way with two normal drive wheels,
snow chains can be fitted to them to solve
an emergency.
IMPORTANT Snow chains may not be
used on tyres type 215/45 R17 87W since
interference can be generated with the
surrounding components.
