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:
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.
Fit the chains following the instructions
provided by the manufacturer.
Move off gently and drive for a few
moments, without exceeding 30 mph
(50 km/h).
The snow chains must be fitted only
to the front wheels. They must never
be fitted to "space-saver" type spare
wheels.

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.
For more information on snow chains, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Take account of the legislation in force
in your country on the use of snow
chains and the maximum running speed
authorised.
