TIRE CHAINS

CAUTION!

The use of chains is permitted only on vehicles

equipped with P245/70R16 tires.

Use only “Class S” chains or other traction aids

that meet SAE Type “S” specifications.

Tire chain use is permitted only on the rear tires.
Chains must be the proper size for the vehicle, as

recommended by the chain manufacturer.

CAUTION!

To avoid damage to your vehicle, tires or chains,
observe the following precautions:
Because of limited chain clearance between tires

and other suspension components, it is important
that only chains in good condition are used. Bro-
ken chains can cause serious vehicle damage. Stop
the vehicle immediately if noise occurs that could
suggest chain breakage. Remove the damaged
parts of the chain before further use.

Install chains as tightly as possible and then

retighten after driving about 1/2 mile (0.8 km).

Do not exceed 45 mph (72 km/h).
