RACING tyres

Driving in winter conditions

The 215/40 R18 89W tyres fitted as standardare not suitable for severe winter conditions. CITROËN recommends that you use suitable
winter tyres during periods of very cold
weather.
If you want to fit snow chains or anti-slip covers to your vehicle, contacta CITROËN dealer for advice on the tyres recommended for your vehicle.

Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle when braking.


The snow chains must be fitted only to the front wheels. They must never be fitted to "space-saver" type spare
wheels.


Take account of the legislation in force in your country on the use of snowchains and the maximum running speed authorised.

Avoid driving on roads that have been cleared of snow, to avoid damagingyour vehicle's tyres and the roadsurface. It is recommended that beforeyou leave, you practise fitting the snowchains on a level and dry surface. If your vehicle is fitted with alloy wheels, check that no par t of the chain or its fixings is in contact with the wheel rim.



Advice on installation
)
If you have to fit the chains during a journey, stop the vehicle on a flat surface on the side of the
road. ) Apply the parking brake and position any wheel chocks to prevent movement of your vehicle. )
Fit the chains following the instructions provided by the manufacturer.)
Move off gently and drive for a few moments, without exceeding 30 mph (50 km/h). )
Stop your vehicle and check that the snow chains are correctly tightened.
