impede movement of the sunroof - risk of

major damage!

The roof bar ﬁxings have a stud which must be

inserted into the opening of each anchorage

point.

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:

Original tyre size

215/65R16

Maximum link size

9 mm (Polaire XP9)

215/60R17

215/55R18

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
