In wintry conditions, snow chains improve traction as well as the
behaviour of the vehicle when braking.
Use only the chains designed to be fi tted to the type of wheel fi tted to
your vehicle:
Original tyre size Maximum link size.
235/45 R18
not chainable
235/40 R19
For more information on snow chains, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.
The snow chains must be fi tted only to the front wheels. They
must never be fi tted 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.
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 fi tting the snow
chains on a level and dry surface. If your vehicle is fi tted with alloy
wheels, check that no part of the chain or its fi xings is in contact
with the wheel rim.
