Nissan X-Trail e-POWER 2023 Owners Manual
11.20.4. Tyre chains
Tyre chains/cables should not be installed on 255/45 R20 tyres. Doing so will cause damage to the vehicle.
If you plan to use tyre chains/cables, you should install 235/60 R18 or 235/55 R19 tyres on your vehicle.
Use of tyre chains may be prohibited according to location. Check the local laws before installing tyre chains. When installing tyre chains, make sure they are the proper size for the tyres on your vehicle and are installed according to the chain manufacturer’s suggestions. The minimum clearances are determined using the factory equipped tyre size. Other types may damage your vehicle. Use chain tensioners when recommended by the tyre chain manufacturer to ensure a tight fit. Loose end links of the tyre chain must be secured or removed to prevent the possibility of whipping action damage to the fenders or underbody. If possible, avoid fully loading your vehicle when using tyre chains. In addition, drive at a reduced speed. Otherwise, your vehicle may be damaged and/or vehicle handling and performance may be adversely affected.
Tyre chains must be installed only on the front wheels and not on the rear wheels.
Do not use tyre chains on dry roads. Driving with tyre chains in such conditions can cause damage to the various mechanisms of the vehicle due to some overstress.
