Snow Chains - PEUGEOT RCZ 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 front wheels. They
must never be fitted to "space-saver" type spare wheels.
Use only the chains designed to be fitted to the type of wheel fitted to
your vehicle:
Original tyre size
235/45 R18
235/40 R19
225/45 R18
For more information on snow chains, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Take account of the legislation in force in your country on the use
of snow chains and the maximum running speed authorised.
Maximum link size.

It is strongly recommended that before you leave, you practise
fitting the snow chains on a level and dry surface.
Advice on installation
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 position any wheel chocks to prevent
movement of your vehicle.
F Fit the chains following the instructions provided by the
manufacturer.
F Move off gently and drive for a few moments, 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 fixings is in contact with the wheel rim.
