Practical information
7Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve
traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle
when braking.
Snow chains must be fitted only to the
front wheels. They must never be fitted to
"space-saver" type spare wheels.
Observe the legislation in force in your
country relating to the use of snow
chains and maximum authorised speeds.
Only use chains that have been designed for the
type of wheel fitted to your vehicle.

For more information, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Installation tips
► To fit the chains during a journey, stop the
vehicle on a flat surface on the side of the road.
►

Apply the parking brake and position any
wheel chocks under the wheels to prevent
movement of the vehicle.
► Fit the chains following the instructions
provided by the manufacturer .
►

Move off gently and drive for a few moments,
without exceeding 31

mph (50 km/h).
►

Stop the vehicle and check that the snow
chains are correctly tightened.
It is strongly recommended that before
you leave, you practise fitting the snow
chains on a level and dry surface.
Avoid driving with snow chains on roads that have been cleared of snow to avoid
damaging the vehicle's tyres and the road
surface. If the vehicle is fitted with alloy
wheels, check that no part of the chain or its
fixings is in contact with the wheel rim.
Very cold climate screen
Removable protective screen which prevents the
accumulation of snow at the radiator cooling fan.
It is recommended that the screen be
fitted and removed by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Before any operation, ensure that the
engine is off and the cooling fan has
stopped.
Fitting

► Position the screen in front of the top part of
the upper grille in the front bumper .
►

Press the screen to clip the fixing clips.
Do not fit the very cold climate screen if
the vehicle has the PureTech 263 S&S
BVM6 engine.
Removing
► Use a screwdriver as a lever to release each
fixing clip in turn.
Do not forget to remove the very cold
climate screen:
–

when the external temperature is greater
than 10°C (e.g. in summer),
–


in the event of a recovery
