The chain serves to give a missing adherence, because if there is no adherence, it is impossible to continue
Every driver knows that in heavy snowfalls he has to carry the chains in the car, but the problem is in placing them. they are not clear
where and how In most cases. That is why the Guardia Civil and the DGT are helping us.
The chain serves to give a missing adherence because if there is no adherence it is impossible to move forward. Therefore, all types of chain will do in low adhesion conditions
always mounted on driving wheelsthose who receive the power from the engine, according to the DGT.
On traction units, the chains must be placed on the wheels of the front axle, as they receive the power (torque) from the engine. On the other hand, in propulsion vehicles, the driving wheels are on the rear axle and it is in it that the chains must be placed if we lack traction. Manufacturers such as BMW, Mercedes and other sports car brands have traditionally produced self-propelled vehicles.
As for four-wheel drive (4×4) vehicles, there are different types of integral transmissions, so it is necessary to follow each manufacturer’s recommendations regarding the installation of chains, in order to obtain the best possible grip in their four-wheel drive models. .
Also emphasize that the electronic traction control aids included in most new vehicles analyze the conditions of grip and deliver the necessary engine torque between the wheels in thousandths of a second. They are in principle not incompatible with the use of strings.
But in extreme cases it may be necessary to disconnect them: if the lack of grip is very great, the traction control can reduce the power of the engine so much (to prevent the vehicle from skidding) that it hardly transmits any torque and the vehicle will not move forward even when pressed. The gas pedal.
