Audi A6  Service and care  Wheels  Tyres and rims
Snow chains will improve braking ability as well as traction in winter conditions.
Snow chains can be used on the front wheels only. This also applies to vehicles with four-wheel drive*.
Check that the snow chains are correctly seated after driving for a few yards; follow the instructions given by the manufacturer.
Keep your speed below 50 km/h. Please observe the applicable local regulations.
You must remove the snow chains on roads which are free of snow; otherwise the vehicle handling may be impaired and the tyres may be damaged.
For technical reasons snow chains may only be used on tyres with certain wheel rim/tyre combinations.

WARNING!
Unsuitable or incorrectly mounted snow chains can cause you to lose control of the vehicle – risk of accident!
Caution!
  • Snow chains can damage the rim/hubcap* if they make direct contact with it. Remove the hubcaps* beforehand. Use snow chains which have a protective coating.
  • If you use snow chains with links that protrude more than 10.5 mm, this could cause severe damage to the wheel housings and other parts of the vehicle.
  • If the adaptive air suspension* is defective you must NOT drive with snow chains as the vehicle is extremely low on the road. Driving with snow chains could cause severe damage to the wheel housings and other parts of the vehicle.
Note
When driving with snow chains, it may help to switch on sport mode/off-road mode Link.
1) Does not apply to vehicles with adaptive air suspension*
