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.

journey, stop the vehicle on a flat sur face

the chain or its fixings is in contact with
the wheel rim.

Recovery of the vehicle on a fl at-bed


Never recover the vehicle by towing it with two or four wheels on the ground, as there is a risk of
damage to the transmission.
However, if necessary because access to the vehicle is difficult, the vehicle can be moved a few
dozen metres, at a speed of less than 6 mph (10 km/h).

Use the towing eye only
to pull the vehicle out
or to lash it for recovery on a flat-bed lorry or
trailer.

Before doing any work, with the ignition on, press the brake pedal and place the gear selector at
position N
, then switch off the Hybrid4 system ( READY
lamp off).
Always call on professionals for recovery of the vehicle on a flat-bed lorry or trailer.
