Snow chains
SNOW CHAINS
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve
traction as well as the behaviour of the
vehicle when braking.
Use only the chains designed to be fitted to
the type of wheel fitted to your vehicle:
Advice on installation
If you have 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 to prevent movement of
your vehicle.
The snow chains must be fitted only to
the driving wheels. They must never be
fitted to "space-saver" type spare wheels.

Stop your vehicle and check that the
snow chains are correctly tightened.
For more information on snow chains,
contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
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 fitting the snow chains on a level
and dry surface. 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
