TIRE CHAINS (TRACTION DEVICES)

Use of traction devices require sufficient tire-to-body
clearance. Follow these recommendations to guard
against damage.

• Traction device must be of proper size for the tire, as

recommended by the traction device manufacturer

• Install on Front Tires
• Due to limited clearance, a 225/45R17 tire with a

Security Chain Company (SCC) Super Z6 low profile
traction device or equivalent is recommended

WARNING!

Using tires of different size and type (M+S, Snow)
between front and rear axles can cause unpredictable
handling. You could lose control and have a collision.

CAUTION!

To avoid damage to your vehicle or tires, observe the
following precautions:
Because of restricted traction device clearance be-

tween tires and other suspension components, it is
important that only traction devices in good con-
dition are used. Broken devices can cause serious
damage. Stop the vehicle immediately if noise
occurs that could indicate device breakage. Re-
move the damaged parts of the device before
further use.

Install device as tightly as possible and then

retighten after driving about

mile (0.8 km).
