Practical information
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:

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.
The snow chains must be fitted only
to the front wheels. They must never
be fitted 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 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.
It is strongly recommended that before
you leave, you practise fitting the snow
chains on a level and dry surface.
