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.
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
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.Advice on installation

journey, stop the vehicle on a flat sur face
on the side of the road.

alloy wheels, check that no part of the
chain or its fixings is in contact with the
wheel rim.

Changing a bulb
Front lamps
In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), the presence
of misting on the internal sur face of the
glass of the headlamps and rear lamps
is normal; it disappears after the lamps
have been on for a few minutes.
The headlamps are fitted with
polycarbonate glass with a protective
coating:

or abrasive cloth, nor with a
detergent or solvent product,
