Snow Chains - PEUGEOT RCZ Handbook

In wintry conditions, snow chains improve traction as well as the
behaviour of the vehicle when braking.
The snow chains must be fi tted only to the front wheels. They
must never be fi tted to "space-saver" type spare wheels.
Use only the chains designed to be fi tted to the type of wheel fi tted to
your vehicle:

For more information on snow chains, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.

Take account of the legislation in force in your country on the use
of snow chains and the maximum running speed authorised.
Advice on installation
If you have to fi t the chains during a journey, stop the vehicle on a
fl at surface on the side of the road.
Apply the parking brake and position any wheel chocks 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
30 mph (50 km/h).
Stop your vehicle and check that the snow chains are correctly
tightened.
Avoid driving on roads that have been cleared of snow, to
avoid damaging your vehicle's tyres and the road surface. It is
recommended that before you leave, you practise fi tting the snow
chains on a level and dry surface. If your vehicle is fi tted with alloy
wheels, check that no part of the chain or its fi xings is in contact
with the wheel rim.
