Travelling abroad
Certain fuels could damage your vehicle's
engine.
In certain countries, the use of a particular
fuel may be required (specific octane rating,
specific trade name, etc.) to ensure correct
operation of the engine.
For any additional information, contact a dealer.
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
driving 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 authorised speed.
Use only the chains designed to be fitted to the
type of wheel fitted to your vehicle:
Original tyre size Maximum link size
195/65 R15
9
mm
19 5/ 70 R15
205/65 R15 215/5 5 R16215 / 5 0 R17
For more information on snow chains, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop. It is strongly recommended that before
you leave, you practise fitting the snow
chains on a level and dry sur face.
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.
Installation advice

stop the vehicle on a flat sur face on the side
of the road.
