Michelin SNOW SOCKS SOS GRIP EVOLUTION Notice D'utilisation page 7

PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
Thank you for purchasing these MICHELIN SOS Grip® textile snow socks. Please read the instructions below
before use. Failure to follow these warnings and the instructions for use may case severe injury and material
damage.
IMPORTANT!
We cannot accept any responsibility for any damage that may result from failure to follow these
precautions. Always start by checking that your vehicle can be fitted with snow chains / removable anti-slip
devices, after allowing for the size of the wheels and tyres fitted (refer to the vehicle owner's manual provided
by the manufacturer).
1. We recommend that you practice fitting your MICHELIN SOS Grip® Evolution textile snow socks on your
vehicle, in dry road conditions, so that you will know what to do on a snow covered road.
2. Fit your snow socks to tyres that are in good condition, as recommended by the manufacturer and with sizes
that match those shown on the product usage label.
3. Textile snow socks do no replace winter tyres. The way the vehicle operates may change when using snow
socks. When snow socks are fitted to the driving wheels, you may notice a difference in grip between the
front and the rear of the vehicle, increasing the risk of slipping. So always take extra care when driving a
vehicle fitted with anti-slip equipment. Drive smoothly, avoiding any sudden acceleration and braking.
4. Only use snow socks on snow and/or ice covered roads or ground and not for pulling, lifting or any other
purpose.
5. Carefully follow the instructions when fitting or removing.
6. For your own safety, we recommend that you wear a fluorescent high visibility vest when fitting snow socks
to your vehicle or when removing them. Refer to highway code recommendations in the event of a vehicle
breakdown.
7. Fit the snow socks to a parked and secured vehicle, in line with the instructions for installation. Always fit
the snow socks in pairs on an axle and at least on the driving wheels. On 4x4 (four-wheel drive) vehicles,
MICHELIN SOS Grip® Evolution snow socks must be fitted to the steering driving wheels and ideally to all
four wheels.
8. Always visually inspect the snow socks before installation.
9. Those parts of the product in contact with the road are subject to wear. Should a textile snow sock fail, re-
move it immediately to avoid damaging the vehicle. If the snow socks are only slightly and locally perforated
after first use, then they can still be reused. Never reuse snow socks if a perforation exceeds 40% of the tread
width. MICHELIN SOS Grip® Evolution snow socks cannot be repaired.
10. Tyre pressures should match the recommendations made by the vehicle manufacturer.
Please respect the traffic rules of the country in which you are driving. When towing, always comply with
highway code requirements.
Subject to technical modifications.
