Citroen C3: Practical information / 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.
Take account of the
legislation specific to
each country on the use of snow chains
and the maximum authorised speed.
Use only the chains designed to be fitted to the
type of wheel fitted to the vehicle:
For more information on snow chains, contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Installation tips
- 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 the 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 the 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 the vehicle's tyres and the road
surface. If the vehicle is fitted with alloy
wheels, check that no part of the chain or its
fixings is in contact with the wheel rim.
