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
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

wheel chocks to prevent movement of your
vehicle.
F

F

provided by the manufacturer.
F

M

few
moments, without exceeding 30 mph
(50
km/h).
F

S
top your vehicle and check that the snow
chains are correctly tightened.
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.
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:

chains on a level and dry sur face.
Practical information

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

hen 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 several minutes (risk of serious
burns).
F

o not touch the bulb directly with
your fingers, use a lint-free cloth.
It is imperative to use only anti-
