impede movement of the sunroof - risk of
major damage!
The roof bar fixings have a stud which must be

Installation tips
► To fit the snow chains during a journey, stop
the vehicle on a flat surface at the side of the
road.
► Apply the parking brake and position any
wheel chocks under the wheels to prevent
movement of the vehicle.
► Fit the snow chains following the instructions
provided by the manufacturer.
Fitting on longitudinal bars
Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve
traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle
when braking.
Snow chains must be fitted only to the
front wheels.
They must never be fitted to "space-saver"
type spare wheels.
► Move off gently and drive for a few moments,
without exceeding 31 mph (50 km/h).
► Stop the vehicle and check that the snow
chains are correctly tightened.
The transverse bars must be fixed at the
markings located on the longitudinal bars.
It is strongly recommended that you
practise fitting the snow chains on a level
and dry surface before setting off.
Observe the legislation in force in your
country relating to the use of snow
chains and maximum authorised speeds.
Direct fitting on roof
Avoid driving with snow chains on roads
that have been cleared of snow to avoid
damaging the vehicle's tyres and the road
surface. If the vehicle is fitted with alloy
wheels, check that no part of the chain or its
fixings is in contact with the wheel rim.
Only use chains that have been designed to be
fitted on the type of wheel on the vehicle:

This removable device prevents the
accumulation of snow around the radiator
cooling fan.
For more information on snow chains, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
The transverse bars must only be fixed at the
four anchorage points located on the roof frame.
These points are concealed by the vehicle doors
when the doors are closed.
