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
F
If you have to fit the chains during a
journey, stop the vehicle on a flat surface
on the side of the road.
F
Apply the parking brake and position any
wheel chocks to prevent movement of
your vehicle.
F
Fit the chains following the instructions
provided by the manufacturer.
F
Move of
f gently and drive for a few
moments, without exceeding 30 mph
(50 km/h).
F
Stop your vehicle and check that the
snow chains are correctly tightened.
It is recommended that before you
leave, you practise fitting the snow
chains on a level and dry surface.
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 CITR
o Ë n dealer or a qualified
workshop. Original tyre size Maximum link size.
175/70 R14 9 mm
185/65 R15
Avoid driving on roads that have been
cleared of snow, to avoid damaging
your vehicle's tyres and the road 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.

TOWING
The removable towing eye is located in the
tool kit behind the driver's seat (Light van) or
behind the rear bench seat (Combi).
Towing the vehicle
In the front bumper, unclip the cover on the
right using a flat tool.
Screw the removable towing eye in fully.
Then hook the towing arm on the towing
eye.
Unlock the steering by turning the the
ignition key one notch and release the
parking brake.
Switch on the hazard warning lamps on both
vehicles.
Move off gently and drive slowly, towing for
a short distance only.On the towed vehicle, the gear
lever must be put in neutral; failure
to observe this special condition
may result in damage to certain braking
components (brakes, transmission...) and
the absence of braking assistance when the
engine is started.
Towing another vehicle
In the rear bumper, unclip the cover at the
bottom using a flat tool.
Screw the removable towing eye in fully.
Then hook the towing arm on the towing
eye.
Switch on the hazard warning lamps on both
vehicles.
Move off gently and drive slowly, towing for
a short distance only.
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 driver must remain at the wheel of the
towed vehicle and must have a valid driving
licence.
When towing a vehicle with all four wheels
on the ground, always use an approved
towing arm; rope and straps are prohibited.
The towing vehicle must move off gently.
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,
-
four-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 arm
available...
