DS3_en_Chap08_info-pratiques_ed01-2015
It is strongly recommended that before you   leave,   you   practise   fitting   the   snow  
c

hains   on   a   level   and   dry   sur face.
Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle when braking.
T he   snow   chains   must   be   fitted   only  
t

o   the   front   wheels.   They   must   never  
b

e fitted to "space-saver" type spare
wheels.
Take
  account   of   the   legislation   in   force  
i

n your country on the use of snow
chains
  and   the   maximum   running  
s

peed
 a
uthorised.
Avoid
  driving   with   snow   chains   on  
r

oads that have been cleared of snow,
to
  avoid   damaging   your   vehicle's   tyres  
a

nd   the   road   sur face.   If   your   vehicle  
i

s   fitted   with   alloy   wheels,   check   that  
n

o   part   of   the   chain   or   its   fixings   is   in  
c

ontact   with   the   wheel   rim.
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  r
oad.
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.
Use
  only   the   chains   designed   to   be   fitted   to   the   type   of   wheel   fitted   to   your   vehicle:

Towing the vehicleProcedure for having your vehicle towed or for towing another vehicle using a removable towing eye.
T he   towing   eye   is   installed   in   the   boot   under  
t

he   floor.
To
  gain   access   to   it:
F

o
pen the boot,
F

r
aise the floor,
F
 
r
emove   the   polystyrene   storage   box,
F
 
r
emove   the   towing   eye   from   the   holder.
Access to the tools
ge
neral recommendations
Observe the legislation in force in your country.
E nsure   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  
a

rm;   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  
b

raking   or   steering.
In
  the   following   cases,   you   must   always   call   on   a   professional   recovery   service:
-
 
v
ehicle   broken   down   on   a   motor way   or   fast   road,
-
f

our-wheel drive vehicle,
-
 
w
hen   it   is   not   possible   to   put   the   gearbox   into   neutral,   unlock   the   steering,   or   release  
t

he   parking   brake,
-
 
t
owing   with   only   two   wheels   on   the   ground,
-
 
w
here   there   is   no   approved   towing   arm   available...

DS3_en_Chap08_info-pratiques_ed01-2015
Towing with the RACIng version
Your vehicle cannot be fitted with a
towbar.
  The   space   occupied   by   the  
s

port   diffuser   prevents   this.
Side wind
F Take  into   account   the   increased   sensitivity  t
o   side   wind.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the temperature   of   the   coolant.
As
  the   fan   is   electrically   controlled,   its   cooling  
c

apacity   is   not   dependent   on   the   engine   speed.
F
 
T
o   lower   the   engine   speed,   reduce   your  
s

peed.
The
  maximum   towed   load   on   a   long   incline  
d

epends   on   the   gradient   and   the   ambient  
t

emperature.
In
  all   cases,   keep   a   check   on   the   coolant  
t

emperature. F
 
I
f   the   warning   lamp   and   the  
S

TOP
 
warning   lamp   come   on,  
s

top the vehicle and switch off
the
  engine   as   soon   as   possible.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
T o   avoid   overheating   of   the   brakes   on   a   long  
m

ountain   type   of   descent,   the   use   of   engine  
b

raking   is   recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check   the   tyre   pressures   of   the   towing  v
ehicle   and   of   the   trailer,   observing   the  
re

commended
 p
ressures.
Lighting
F Check  the   electrical   lighting   and   signalling  o
n   the   trailer.
The
  rear   parking   sensors   will   be  
d

eactivated   automatically   if   a   genuine  
C

ITROËN   towbar   is   used.
