Check the condition of the battery
monthly by looking at the test
indicator window. The label on the
battery explains the test indicator’s
colors.
Use only SAE class ‘‘S’’ chains. Only
certain brands of chains will fit your
Acura without coming in contact
with the body or causing mechanical
damage. Before buying any types of
chains, you should consult with your
Acura dealer about the designs and
brands that will work on your Acura.
Also, make sure you purchase the
correct size for your tires.
When installing chains, follow the
manufacturer’s instructions and
mount them as tightly as you can.
Drive slowly with chains installed. If
you hear them contacting the body
or chassis, stop and investigate.
Make sure the chains are installed
tightly, and that they are not
contacting the brake lines or
suspension. Remove the chains as
soon as you start driving on cleared
roads.
Mount tire chains on your vehicle
when warranted by driving
conditions or required by local laws.
Make sure the chains are the correct
size for your tires. Install them only
on the front tires.
