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.

wheel chocks to prevent movement of
your vehicle.

Move off gently and drive for a few
moments, without exceeding 30 mph
(50 km/h).
Take account of the legislation in force
in your country on the use of snow
chains and the maximum running speed
authorised.
F
Stop your vehicle and check that the
snow chains are correctly tightened.
It is recommended that before you
leave, you practise fitting the snow
chains on a level and dry surface.
For more information on snow chains,
contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Avoid driving with chains on roads that
have been cleared of snow, to avoid
damaging your vehicle's tyres and the road
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.
