TIRE CHAINS
Use of Security Chain Company (SCC) Super Z6
SZ143 or Iceman Z6 IZ-643 cables or equivalent are
recommended on 225/65R17 tires.
NOTE: Do not use tire chains on a compact spare
tire.
To avoid damage to your vehicle or tires,
observe the following precautions:
• Use chains on 225/65R17 tires only.
• Because of restricted chain clearance between
tires and other suspension components, it is im-
portant that only chains in good condition are
used. Broken chains can cause serious damage.
Stop the vehicle immediately if noise occurs that
could indicate chain breakage. Remove the dam-
aged parts of the chain before further use.
• Install chains on the rear wheels as tightly as
possible and then retighten after driving about
0.8 km.
• Do not exceed 48 km/h.
• Drive cautiously and avoid severe turns and
large bumps, especially with a loaded vehicle.
• Use on rear wheels only.
• Do not drive for prolonged period on dry pave-
ment.
• Observe the tire chain manufacturer's instruc-
tions on the method of installation, operating
speed, and conditions for use. Always use the
lower suggested operating speed of the chain
manufacturer if different from the speed recom-
mended by the manufacture.
