PERFORMANCE
tyres
Driving in winter
conditions
The 205/40 R18 tyres fitted as standard are
not suitable for severe winter conditions. We
recommend that you use suitable winter tyres
during periods of very cold weather.If you want to fit snow chains or
snow socks to your vehicle, contact
a CITROËN dealer for advice on the
tyres recommended for your vehicle.

215
It is strongly recommended that before
you leave, you practise fitting the snow
chains 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.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 snow
chains and the maximum running
speed authorised.
Avoid driving with snow chains on
roads that have been cleared of snow,
to avoid damaging your vehicle's tyres
and the road sur face. If your vehicle
is fitted with alloy wheels, check that
no part of the chain or its fixings is in
contact 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 road.
F
A

pply the parking brake and position any wheel chocks to prevent movement of your vehicle.
F
F

it the chains following the instructions provided by the manufacturer.
F
M

ove off gently and drive for a few moments, without exceeding 30 mph (50 km/h).
F
S

top your vehicle and check that the snow chains are correctly tightened.
Use only the chains designed to be fitted to the type of wheel fitted to your vehicle: Vehicle Original
tyre size Type of chain
DS 3 185/65 R15
9 mm link
195/55 R16
2 0 5 /4 5 R17 cannot be fitted with chains
DS 3 PERFORMANCE 205/40 R18MICHELIN Easygrip K15*
For more information on snow chains, contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
* Except Italy and Austria.
