Practical information
► Fit the snow chains following the instructions
provided by the manufacturer.
► Move off gently and drive for a few moments,
without exceeding 31 mph (50 km/h).
► Stop the vehicle and check that the snow
chains are correctly tightened.
Before any operation, ensure that the
engine is off and the cooling fan has
stopped.
Snow chains
7
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve
traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle
when braking.
It is essential to remove them when:
– the outside temperature exceeds
10°C.
– recovery is in progress.
– the speed is above 75 mph (120 km/h).
Snow chains must be fitted only to the
front wheels. They must never be fitted to
"space-saver" type spare wheels.
It is strongly recommended that you
practise fitting the snow chains on a level
and dry surface before setting off.
Observe the legislation in force in your
country relating to the use of snow
chains and maximum authorised speeds.
Avoid driving with snow chains on roads
that have been cleared of snow to avoid
damaging the vehicle's tyres and the road
surface. If the vehicle is fitted with alloy
wheels, check that no part of the chain or its
fixings is in contact with the wheel rim.
Fitting
Only use chains that have been designed to be
fitted on the type of wheel on the vehicle:

For more information on snow chains, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
► Hold the side screen in front of the lower left
grille of the bumper.
► First insert the lower fixing brackets into the
bumper.
► Tilt the side screen upwards until the side and
then upper fixing brackets click into the bumper.
► Check that the unit is firmly held by pressing
around the edges.
Repeat the same process to fit the central
screen into the upper grille of the bumper.
Installation tips
► To fit the snow chains during a journey, stop
the vehicle on a flat surface at the side of the
road.
► Apply the parking brake and position any
wheel chocks under the wheels to prevent
movement of the vehicle.
In case of difficulty with installation/
removal
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
