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.
For more information on snow chains,
contact a PeugeOt dealer or a
qualified workshop.
