Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle when braking.
Advice on installation
F If   you   have   to   fit   the   chains   during   a  j
ourney,   stop   the   vehicle   on   a   flat   sur face  
o

n   the   side   of   the   road.
F
 
A
pply   the   parking   brake   and   position   any  
w

heel   chocks   to   prevent   movement   of   your  
v

ehicle.
F
 
F
it   the   chains   following   the   instructions  
p

rovided   by   the   manufacturer.
F
 
M
ove   off   gently   and   drive   for   a   few  
m

oments,   without   exceeding   30 mph  
(

50 km/h).
F
 
S
top   your   vehicle   and   check   that   the   snow  
c

hains   are   correctly   tightened.
Use
 
only
 
the
 
chains
 
designed
 
to

For more information on snow chains, contact a C ITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified   workshop.
It
  is   strongly   recommended   that   before  
y

ou   leave,   you   practise   fitting   the   snow

heels.
Take  account   of   the   legislation   in   force  
i

n your country on the use of snow
chains
  and   the   maximum   running   speed  
a
