Winter Tires

If driving on snowy or frozen roads, mount all season marked “M+S” tires, snow
tires, or tire chains; reduce speed; and maintain sufficient distance between vehicles
when driving.

Be particularly careful when operating the steering wheel or brakes to prevent
skidding.

Use tire chains, snow tires, or all season tires when necessary or according to the law.

When mounting, refer to the following points.

For winter tires:
• Select the size and load ranges that are the same as the original tires.

• Mount the tires to all four wheels.

For tire chains:
• Install them on the front tires only.

• Because your vehicle has limited tire clearance, we strongly recommend using the

chains listed below:

• Follow the chain manufacturer’s instruction when installing. Mount them as

tightly as you can.

• Check that the chains do not touch the brake lines or suspension.

• Drive slowly.

NOTICE

Traction devices that are the wrong size or improperly
installed can damage your vehicle’s brake lines,
suspension, body, and wheels. Stop driving if they are
hitting any part of the vehicle.

When tire chains are mounted, follow the chain
manufacturer’s instructions regarding vehicle
operational limits.

If your vehicle is equipped with summer tires, be
aware that these tires are not designed for winter
driving conditions. For more information, contact a
dealer.

WARNING

Using the wrong chains, or not properly
installing chains, can damage the brake
lines and cause a crash in which you can be
seriously injured or killed.

Follow all instructions in this owner’s
manual regarding the selection and use of
tire chains.
