Snow Chains; Towing A Trailer - PEUGEOT BOXER 2018 Handbook

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.
Installation tips
F If you have to fit the chains during a journey,
stop the vehicle on a flat surface on the side
of the road.
F Apply the parking brake and if necessary
put wheel chocks against the wheels to
prevent your vehicle from sliding.
F Fit the chains following the instructions
provided by the manufacturer.
F Move off gently and drive for a few seconds,
without exceeding 30 mph (50 km/h).
F Stop your vehicle and check that the snow
chains are correctly tightened.
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 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 surface.
