PRACTICAL INFORMATION
SNOW CHAINS
In wintry conditions, snow chains im-
prove traction as well as the behaviour
of the vehicle when braking.
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.
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 posi-
tion any wheel chocks to prevent
movement of your vehicle.
Fit the chains following the instruc-
tions 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 surface. It is recom-
mended 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.
Use only the chains designed to be fi t-
ted to the type of wheel fi tted to your
vehicle:

contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop.
