The use of snow chains is only permitted on the drive axle wheels. For vehicles with all-wheel drive, chains are generally not required. In the event that chains are prescribed for the passage of certain sections (passes), then they should be mounted only on the front wheels. Remove wheel caps before installation.
Do not drive faster than 50 km/h with snow chains fitted. To drive on roads without snow and ice, the snow chains must be removed.
On all models, snow chains must be used only with a given size of links that protrude above the surface of the tires and on the inside of them by no more than 15 mm, including the chain lock. Only snow chains approved by VW must be used.
