• Drive cautiously. If you hear the

chains rub or bang against your
vehicle, stop and re-tighten the
chains. If this does not work,
remove the chains to prevent
damage to your vehicle.

• If possible, avoid fully loading

your vehicle.

• Remove the tire chains when

they are no longer needed. Do
not use tire chains on dry roads.

• The suspension insulation and

bumpers will help prevent
vehicle damage. Do not remove
these components from your
vehicle when using snow tires
and chains.

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW
ABOUT AUTOMOTIVE FUEL

Do not overfill the fuel
tank. The pressure in an

overfilled tank may cause
leakage and lead to fuel spray
and fire.

If you do not use a proper
fuel cap, the pressure in

the fuel tank can damage the
fuel system or cause it to work
improperly in a collision.
