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.
Take account of the legislation in force in
your country on the use of snow chains
and the maximum authorised speed. Use only the chains designed to be fitted to the
type of wheel fitted to your vehicle:
You can also use snow socks.
For more information, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Installation tips
F Move off gently and drive for a few
seconds, without exceeding around 30 mph
(50
km/h).

it the chains following the instructions
provided by the manufacturer. 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 fixtures is in contact with the
wheel rim.
It is strongly recommended that before
you leave, you practise fitting the snow
chains on a level and dry sur face.

Removing a wheel
Parking the vehicle
Park the vehicle where it does not block
traffic: the ground must be level, stable
and non-slippery.
With a manual gearbox, engage first gear
then switch off the ignition to block the
wheels.
With an automatic gearbox, place the gear
selector to position P then switch off the
ignition to block the wheels.
With an electronic gearbox, place the gear
selector to position A then switch off the
ignition to block the wheels.
Apply the parking brake and check that
the warning lamp is on in the instrument
panel.
The passengers must get out of the
vehicle and wait where they are safe.
Never go underneath a vehicle raised
using a jack; use an axle stand.F
P
lace the foot of the jack on the ground and
ensure that it is directly below the A or B
jacking point provided on the underbody,
whichever is closest to the wheel to be
changed.
Do not use:
-
t
he jack for any other purpose than
lifting the vehicle,
-
a j
ack other than the one supplied by
the manufacturer.

Ensure that the jack is positioned only
at one of jacking points A or B under the
