Snow chains
The snow chains must be fitted only to the rear wheels (vehicle with rear wheel drive).It is strongly recommended that before
you leave, you practise fitting the snow
chains on a level and dry sur face. Take account of the legislation in force
in your country on the use of snow
chains and the maximum running speed
authorised. For more information on snow chains,
contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.Avoid driving with snow chains on roads
that have been cleared of snow, to
avoid damaging your vehicle's tyres and
the road 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.Advice on installation
