Practical information

Snow chains

In wintry conditions, snow chains improve

traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle

when braking.

Very cold climate screen

Removable protective screen which prevents

the accumulation of snow at the radiator

cooling fan.

It is strongly recommended that before

you leave, you practise fitting the snow

chains on a level and dry surface.

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 recommended that the screen be

fitted and removed by a PEUGEOT dealer

or a qualified workshop.

Snow chains must be fitted only to the

front wheels. They must never be fitted to

"space-saver" type spare wheels.

Before fitting or removing a screen,

ensure that the engine is off and the

cooling fan has stopped.

Take account of the legislation in force in

your country on the use of snow chains

and the maximum authorised speed.

Use only the chains designed to be fitted to the

type of wheel fitted to your vehicle:
