The wheel is refitted as described in step 5,
not forgetting to refit the wheel trim.
Refer to the "Identification markings"

Snow chains
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 driving wheels. They must never be
fitted to "space-saver" type spare wheels.
Take account of the legislation in force
in your country on the use of snow
chains and the maximum running speed
authorised.
Advice on installation
)
If you have 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 to prevent movement of
your vehicle.
)
Fit the chains following the instructions
provided by the manufacturer.
)
Move off gently and drive for a few
moments, without exceeding 30 mph
(50 km/h).
)
Stop your vehicle and check that the
snow chains are correctly tightened.
Avoid driving on roads that have been
cleared of snow, to avoid damaging
your vehicle's tyres and the road surface. It
is recommended that before you leave, you
practise fitting the snow chains on a level
and dry 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:
For more information on snow chains,
contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.

Without lifting (4 wheels on the ground)
You should always use a towing bar.
From the front
- Unclip the cover by pressing at the
bottom,
- Fully screw in the removable towing eye.
TOWING THE VEHICLE
Lifting (2 wheels on the ground only)
It is preferable to lift the vehicle using
professional lifting equipment.

- Unclip the cover using a coin or the flat
part of the towing eye,
- Fully screw in the removable towing eye.
Vehicles fitted with a manual gearbox (Diesel version)
In the case of vehicles fitted with a manual
gearbox, the gear lever must be in the
neutral position. Failure to observe this
special condition may result in damage
to certain braking components and the
absence of braking assistance the next time
the engine is started.

Having your vehicle towed
General recommendations
Observe the legislation in force in your
country.
Ensure that the weight of the towing vehicle
is higher than that of the towed vehicle.
The person at the wheel of the towed vehicle
must have a valid driving licence.
When towing a vehicle with all four wheels
on the ground, always use an approved
towing bar; rope and straps are prohibited.
When towing a vehicle with the engine off,
there is no longer any power assistance for
braking or steering.
In the following cases, you must always call
on a professional recovery service:
- vehicle broken down on a motorway or
fast road,
- 4 wheel drive vehicle,
- when it is not possible to put the
gearbox into neutral, unlock the
steering, or release the parking brake,
- towing with only two wheels on the
ground,
- where there is no approved towing bar
available...
