in the boot. Use a cover to protect the
inside of the boot.
When driving with the "space-saver"
type spare wheel fitted, do not exceed
50 mph (80 km/h).
Have the tightening of the bolts and the
pressure of the spare wheel checked
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop without delay.
Have the punctured wheel repaired and
replace it on the vehicle as soon as
possible.
Tyre under-inflation detection
The space-saver type or steel spare
wheel does not have a sensor.
The punctured wheel must be repaired
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Snow chains must only be fitted to the
front wheels. Further, they must never
be fitted to a "space-saver" spare
wheel.
Before fitting the snow chains,

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.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.
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.
Use only the chains designed to be fitted to the
type of wheel fitted to your vehicle:
Original tyre size Maximum link size.
215/55 R16 9 mm
215/50 R17
215/45 R18
For more information on snow chains, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
It is strongly recommended that before
