Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle when braking.
Advice on installation
F If you have to fit the chains during a journey, stop the vehicle on a flat sur face
on the side of the road.
F

A
pply the parking brake and position any
wheel chocks to prevent movement of your
vehicle.
F

F
it the chains following the instructions
provided by the manufacturer.
F

M
ove off gently and drive for a few
moments, without exceeding 30 mph
(50 km/h).
F

S
top your vehicle and check that the snow
chains are correctly tightened.
Take account of the legislation in force
in your country on the use of snow
chains and the maximum running speed
authorised. The snow chains must be fitted only
to the front wheels. They must never
be fitted to "space-saver" type spare
wheels. 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.
Use only the chains designed to be fitted to the
type of wheel fitted to your vehicle:
Original tyre size Maximum

link size.
165/65 R14 9 mm
165/60 R15
For more information on snow chains,
contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
It is strongly recommended that before
you leave, you practise fitting the snow
chains on a level and dry sur face.

Access to the battery
Procedure for starting the engine using another battery or charging a discharged battery.
Before doing any work
Immobilise the vehicle: apply the
parking brake, put the gearbox in
neutral, then switch off the ignition.
Check that all electrical equipment is
switched off.
The presence of this label, in particular
with the Stop & Start system, indicates
the use of a 12 V lead-acid battery with
special technology and specification;
the involvement of a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop is essential
when replacing or disconnecting the
battery.
After refitting the battery, the Stop &
Start system will only be active after a
continuous period of immobilisation of the
vehicle, a period which depends on the
climatic conditions and the state of charge
of the battery (up to about 8 hours).
Do not push the vehicle to start the
engine if you have an ETG electronic
gearbox.
