Practical information
Installation tips
F If you have to fit the chains during a journey,
stop the vehicle on a flat surface on the side
of the road.
F Apply the parking brake and position any
wheel chocks under the wheels to prevent
movement of your vehicle.
F Fit the chains following the instructions
provided by the manufacturer.
Misfuel prevention (Diesel)
Travelling abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be
different in other countries, the presence
of the misfuel prevention device may make
refuelling impossible.
Not all Diesel vehicles are fitted with
misfuel protection, so before travelling
abroad, we recommend that you check
with the CITROËN dealer network,
whether your vehicle is suitable for the
fuel pumps in the country in which you
intend to travel.
(Depending on the country of sale.)
Mechanical device which prevents filling the
tank of a Diesel vehicle with petrol. It helps
avoid the risk of engine damage that can result
from filling with the wrong fuel.
F Move off gently and drive for a few
moments, without exceeding 31 mph
(50 km/h).
Operation
F Stop your vehicle and check that the snow
chains are correctly tightened.
Snow chains
It is strongly recommended that before
you leave, you practise fitting the snow
chains on a level and dry surface.
In wintry conditions, snow chains
improve traction as well as the
behaviour of the vehicle when
braking.
When a petrol filler nozzle is introduced into
the fuel filler neck of a Diesel vehicle, it comes
into contact with the flap. The system remains
closed and prevents filling.
Do not persist but introduce a Diesel type
filler nozzle.
Avoid driving with snow 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.
7
Snow chains must be fitted only to the
front wheels. They must never be fitted to
"space-saver" type spare wheels.
It remains possible to use a fuel can to fill
the tank.
In order to ensure a good flow of fuel,
do not place the nozzle of the fuel can in
direct contact with the flap of the misfuel
prevention device and pour slowly.
Take account of the legislation in force in
your country on the use of snow chains
and the maximum authorised speed.
