It is strongly recommended that before
you leave, you practise fitting the snow
chains 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.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 sur face. 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.
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 road.
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: Vehicle Original

Towing with the PERFORMANCE version
Your vehicle cannot be fitted with a
towbar. The space occupied by the
sport diffuser prevents this.
Side wind
F Take into account the increased sensitivity to side wind.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the
temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling
capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.
F
T

o lower the engine speed, reduce your
speed.
The maximum towed load on a long incline
depends on the gradient and the ambient
temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.
F
I

f the warning lamp and the
STOP warning lamp come on,
stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes on a long
mountain type of descent, the use of engine
braking is recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer.
The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically if a genuine
CITROËN towbar is used.
