Land Rover Defender: Using snow chains

Make sure the following warnings have been read and fully understood before using snow chains. Failure to use the snow chains safely could result in an accident, leading to serious injury or death.

Only use traction devices in heavy snow conditions, on compacted snow.

Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) must be switched off when using traction devices.

Never exceed 30 mph (50 km/h) when traction devices are fitted.

Never fit traction devices to a temporary-use spare wheel.

Traction devices approved by the vehicle manufacturer may be used to improve traction in heavy snow conditions, on compacted snow.

Traction devices should not be used in off-road conditions where there is no compacted snow.

If it becomes necessary to fit traction devices, the following points must be observed:

Contact a retailer/authorized repairer for details and availability of approved snow chains.

Note: When using snow chains, select the grass gravel snow driving program and switch DSC off.

UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

The following information relates to the tire grading system developed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) which grades tires by treadwear, traction, and temperature performance.

Note: Tires that have deep tread, and winter tires, are exempt from these marking requirements.

UNIFORM TIRE QUALITY GRADING

Quality grades can be found where applicable on the tire sidewall between tread shoulder and maximum section width. For example:

Treadwear 200 Traction AA Temperature A

In addition to the marking requirements, passenger car tires must conform to Federal Safety Requirements.
