206 Wheels and tyres
For the sake of the environment
Fit your summer tyres again as soon as possible. They are quieter, do not
wear so quickly and reduce fuel consumption.
Snow chains
Snow chains may be fitted only to the front wheels, and only for the follow-
ing tyres:
175/70R14 Chains with links not exceeding 15 mm (including the chain
185/60R15 closure)
215/45R16 Chains with links not exceeding 9 mm (including the chain
closure)
215/40R17 Chains with links not exceeding 7 mm (including the chain
closure)
Remove wheel hub covers and trim rings before fitting snow chains. For
safety reasons, cover caps, available in any Technical Service, must then be
fitted over the wheel bolts.
WARNING
Snow chains should be correctly tightened in accordance with the manu-
facturer's instructions. This will prevent the chains coming into contact
with the wheel housing.
CAUTION
Remove the snow chains to drive on roads without snow. Otherwise they
will impair handling, damage the tyres and wear out very quickly.
Note
In some countries, the maximum permitted speed with snow chains is
50 km/h (31 mph). The legal requirements of each country must be fol-

lowed.
