Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve
traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle
when braking.
The snow chains must be fitted only to
the front wheels.
Take account of the legislation in force
in your country on the use of snow
chains and the maximum running speed
authorised.
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.
Use only the chains designed to be fitted to the
type of wheel fitted to your vehicle:
You can also use snow socks.
For more information, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
