The tires on your vehicle have all weather treads to
provide traction in rain and snow. However, in some
climates, you may need to use snow tires and
chains. Use chains on the tires only in an emergency
or if the law requires them.

Follow these guidelines when using snow tires and
chains:
• Chains may damage aluminum wheels.
• Use only Cable Type chains with size P225/55R16

or 245/45ZR17 tires. Use of SAE Class S chains
may damage your vehicle.

• Install chains securely, verifying that the chains do

not touch any wiring, brake lines or fuel lines.

• 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.
