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. 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 sur face
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
sur face. It is recommended that before
you leave, you practise fitting the snow
chains on a level and dry sur face. 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:
Original tyre size Maximum link size.
215/60 R16
9 mm
225/50 R17
235/45 R18
cannot be fitted with
snow chains
235/40 R19
For more information on snow chains, contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

Selecting a station


The external environment (hill, building, tunnel, underground car park…) may interfere with the reception, including in RDS station tracking mode.
This phenomenon is a normal result of the way in which radio waves are transmitted and does not in any way indicate a fault with the audio system.

The quality of reception is represented by the number of
active waves in this symbol.

Press RADIO
or OK
to display the
contextual menu.

Select " Change waveband

Activate / Deactivate RDS


RDS, if activated, allows you to continue listening to the same
station by automatic retuning to alternative frequencies. However,
in certain conditions, coverage of an RDS station may not be
assured throughout the entire country as radio stations do not
cover 100 % of the territory. This explains the loss of reception
of the station during a journey.

Select " Guidance options
