C

ITROËN   recommends   that   you   use   suitable  
w

inter   tyres   during   periods   of   very   cold  
w

eather.
If
  you   want   to   fit   snow   chains   or   anti-
slip covers to your vehicle, contact
a
  CITROËN   dealer   for   advice   on   the  
t

yres   recommended   for   your   vehicle.
Practical information

It is strongly recommended that before you   leave,   you   practise   fitting   the   snow  
c

hains   on   a   level   and   dry   sur face.
Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle when braking.
T he   snow   chains   must   be   fitted   only  
t

o   the   front   wheels.   They   must   never  
b

e   fitted   to   "space-saver"   type   spare  
w

heels.
Take
  account   of   the   legislation   in   force  
i

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

peed
 a
uthorised.
Avoid
  driving   with   snow   chains   on  
r

oads   that   have   been   cleared   of   snow,  
t

o   avoid   damaging   your   vehicle's   tyres  
a

nd   the   road   sur face.   If   your   vehicle  
i

s   fitted   with   alloy   wheels,   check   that  
n

o   part   of   the   chain   or   its   fixings   is   in  
c

ontact   with   the   wheel   rim.
Advice on installation
F If  you   have   to   fit   the   chains   during   a   journey,   stop   the   vehicle   on   a   flat   sur face   on   the   side   of   the  r
oad.

The
  towing   vehicle   must   move   off   gently.
When

b

raking   or   steering.
In
  the   following   cases,   you   must   always   call   on   a   professional   recovery   service:
