Installation tips
F If you have to fit the chains during a journey,
stop the vehicle on a flat surface on the side
of the road.
F Apply the parking brake and position any
wheel chocks under the wheels to prevent
movement of your vehicle.
F Fit the chains following the instructions
provided by the manufacturer.
F Move off gently and drive for a few
moments, without exceeding 31 mph
(50 km/h).
F Stop your vehicle and check that the snow
chains are correctly tightened.
Use towing devices and their original

harnesses approved by PEUGEOT. It
is recommended that the installation
be performed by a PEUGEOT dealer or
a qualified workshop.
If the towing device is not fitted by
a PEUGEOT dealer, it must still be
fitted in accordance with the vehicle
manufacturer's instructions.
Certain driving assistance or manoeuvring
assistance functions are automatically
deactivated if an approved towing device
is used.

You can also use snow socks.
For more information, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Observe the maximum authorised towable
weight, indicated on your vehicle's
registration certificate, the manufacturer's
label and in the Technical data section of
this guide.
Complying with the maximum
authorised nose weight (towball)
also includes the use of accessories
(bicycle carriers, tow boxes, etc.).
It is strongly recommended that before
you leave, you practise fitting the snow
chains on a level and dry surface.

Load distribution
F Distribute the load in the trailer so that the
heaviest items are as close as possible to
the axle, and the nose weight approaches
the maximum permitted without exceeding
it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing engine performance. The maximum
towed load must be reduced by 10% for every
1,000 metres of altitude.
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.

Observe the legislation in force in the
country in which you are driving.
Use only the chains designed to be fitted to the
type of wheel fitted to your vehicle:
