Practical information
Be sure to refer to national legislation in order
to comply with the regulations for transporting
objects that are longer than the vehicle.
The snow chains must be fitted only to
the front wheels. They must never be
fitted to "space-saver" type spare wheels.

Recommendations
Take account of the legislation specific to
each country on the use of snow chains
and the maximum authorised speed.
Distribute the load uniformly, taking care
to avoid overloading one of the sides.
Arrange the heaviest part of the load as close
as possible to the roof.
Use only chains designed to be fitted to the type
of wheel fitted to the vehicle:
Secure the load securely.
Drive gently: the vehicle will be more
susceptible to the effects of side winds and its
stability may be affected.
Regularly check the security and tight
fastening of the roof bars, at least before each
trip.

You must only attach the transverse bars to
the four fixing points located on the roof frame.
These points are concealed by the vehicle doors
when the doors are closed.
The roof bar fixings have a stud which must be
inserted into the opening of each fixing point.

Maximum load distributed over the
transverse roof bars, for a loading height
not exceeding 40 cm (except bicycle carrier):
80 kg.
As this value may change, please verify the
maximum load quoted in the guide supplied
with the roof bars.
If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt the speed
of the vehicle to the profile of the road to
avoid damaging the roof bars and the fixings
on the vehicle.
Sunroof
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Check that the load does not pass below
the roof bars so that it does not impede the
movements of the sunroof - risk of major
damage!
Installation tips
► 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 under the wheels to prevent
movement of the vehicle.
Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve
traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle
when braking.
► Fit the chains following the instructions
provided by the manufacturer.
► Move off gently and drive for a few moments,
without exceeding 31 mph (50 km/h).
