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.
For more information on snow chains, contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.



Advice on installation




If you have to fit the chains during a
journey, stop the vehicle on a flat sur face
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.


Avoid driving on roads that have been
cleared of snow, to avoid damaging
your vehicle's tyres and the road
sur face. It is recommended that before
you leave, you practise fitting the snow
chains on a level and dry 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.

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

Use only the chains designed to be fitted to the
type of wheel fitted to your vehicle:
Original tyre size Maximum link size.
215/60 R16
9 mm
215/55 R17
225/45 R18

261Practical information











Changing a bulb


The headlamps are fitted with
polycarbonate glass with a protective
coating:



do not clean them using a dr y
or abrasive cloth, nor with a
detergent or solvent product,



use a sponge and soapy water or a
pH neutral product,


when using a high pressure
washer on persistent marks, do not
keep the lance directed towards
the lamps or their edges for too
long, so as not to damage their
protective coating and seals. Changing a bulb should only be done
after the headlamp has been switched
off for a few minutes (risk of serious
burns).



Do not touch the bulb directly with
your fingers, use a lint-free cloth.
It is imperative to use only anti-
ultraviolet (UV) type bulbs to avoid
damaging the headlamp.
Always replace a failed bulb with a
new bulb with the same type and
specification.

Xenon bulbs (D1S-35W) must be
replaced by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
