Tire chain installation

Observe the following precautions when installing and removing chains:

Install and remove tire chains in a safe location.

Install tire chains on the front tires only. Do not install tire chains on the
rear tires.

Install tire chains on front tires as tightly as possible. Retighten chains
after driving 1/4 - 1/2 mile (0.5 - 1.0 km).

Install tire chains following the instructions provided with the tire chains.

If wheel ornaments are used, they will be scratched by the chain band,
so remove the ornaments before putting on the chains. (

Maintain the recommended level of air pressure.

Do not drive in excess of 75 mph (120 km/h), regardless of the type of
