Snow Chains

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

Snow chains may be mounted only on the drive wheels.

On AWD vehicles, however, only the front wheels can be fitted with snow chains. The rear wheels can also be fitted on the Q5 model.

Snow chains are not possible with all wheel/tire combinations.

If no special snow chain type is specified, a snow chain with small chain links can be used. Only chains which do not stand up more than 15 mm, including chain lock, may be applied on tire tread and inner sides.

With some models and certain wheel/tire combinations, only snow chains with small chain links can be used.

NOTE:

The legally permitted maximum speed when driving with snow chains is 50 km/h (31 mph).

Remove the snow chains before driving on snow-free roads. This is because the handling performance would be worse. During this, the tires are stressed unnecessarily and the chain wear is particularly high.
