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 Rear Tires Only.
• Due to limited clearance, P235/55R18 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 condi-
tion are used. Broken devices can cause serious
damage. Stop the vehicle immediately if noise
occurs that could indicate device breakage. Remove
the damaged parts of the device before further use.

Install device as tightly as possible and then re-

tighten after driving about ½ mile (0.8 km).

Do not exceed 30 mph (48 km/h).

Drive cautiously and avoid severe turns and large

bumps, especially with a loaded vehicle.

Do not drive for prolonged period on dry pave-

ment.
