PRACTICAL INFORMATION
SNOW CHAINS
Original tyre size Maximum link size.
235/45 R18 cannot be fi tted with chains
235/40 R19
225/45 R18 9 mm
For more information on snow chains, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop. Use only the chains designed to be fi tted to the type of wheel fi tted to
your vehicle: The snow chains must be fi tted only to the front wheels. They
must never be fi tted 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 on roads that have been cleared of snow, to
avoid damaging your vehicle's tyres and the road surface. It is
recommended that before you leave, you practise fi tting the snow
chains on a level and dry surface. If your vehicle is fi tted with alloy
wheels, check that no part of the chain or its fi xings is in contact
with the wheel rim.
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve traction as well as the
behaviour of the vehicle when braking.
Advice on installation
 If you have to fi t the chains during a journey, stop the vehicle on a
fl at surface 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.

TOWING A VEHICLE
TOWING EYE
This is stored in the boot under the fl oor.
For access to it:
 open the boot,
 raise the fl oor using the strap,
 secure it in the vertical position beyond the stops, located on the sides of the boot,
 remove the towing eye from the storage box.
GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
Observe the legislation in force in your country.
Ensure that the weight of the towing vehicle is higher than that of
the towed vehicle.
The driver must remain at the wheel of the towed vehicle and
must have a valid driving licence.
When towing a vehicle with all four wheels on the ground, always
use an approved towing bar; rope and straps are prohibited.
The towing vehicle must move off gently.
When towing a vehicle with the engine off, there is no longer any
power assistance for braking or steering.
In the following cases, you must always call on a professional
recovery service:
- vehicle broken down on a motorway or fast road,
- four-wheel drive vehicle,
- when it is not possible to put the gearbox into neutral, unlock the steering, or release the parking brake,
- towing with only two wheels on the ground,
- where there is no approved towing bar available...
