They must never be fitted to "space-saver" type spare wheels.Take account of the legislation specific to each country on the use of snow chains and the maximum authorised speed.Installation tips►If you have to fit the chains during a journey, stop the vehicle on a flat surface on the side of the road.►Apply the parking brake and position any wheel chocks under the wheels to prevent movement of your vehicle.►Fit the chains following the instructions provided by the manufacturer.►Move off gently and drive for a few moments, without exceeding 31 mph (50 km/h).►Stop your vehicle and check that the snow chains are correctly tightened.It is strongly recommended that before you leave, you practise fitting the snow chains on a level and dry surface.Avoid driving with snow chains on roads that have been cleared of snow to avoid damaging your vehicle's tyres and the road surface. 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.Use only the chains designed to be fitted to the type of wheel fitted to your vehicle:Original tyre sizeMaximum link size (mm)195/65 R159205/60 R16205/55 R17215/65 R16215/60 R17cannot be fitted with chainsYou can also use snow socks.For more information, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.Towing deviceLoad distribution►Distribute the load in the trailer so that the heaviest items are as close as possible to the axle and the nose weight approaches the maximum permitted without exceeding it.Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing engine performance. The maximum towed load must be reduced by 10% for every 1,000 metres of altitude.Use towing devices and their unmodified harnesses approved by PEUGEOT. It is recommended that the installation be performed by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.If the towing device is not fitted by a PEUGEOT dealer, it must still be fitted in accordance with the vehicle manufacturer's instructions.Certain driving assistance or manoeuvring assistance functions are automatically disabled if an approved towbar is used.Observe the maximum authorised towable weight, indicated on your vehicle's registration certificate, the manufacturer's label as well as in the Technical data section of this guide.Complying with the maximum authorised nose weight (towball) also includes the use of accessories (bicycle carriers, tow boxes, etc.).
