For more information on snow chains, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a

workshop.
Use
only
the chains designed to be fitted to the type of wheel fitted to
your vehicle: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. Avoid driving with snow chains 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.
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve traction as well as the
behaviour of the vehicle when braking.
