The 245/45 R20 size tires do not provide adequate
clearance for tire chains.

NOTE:

Do not use tire chains on a compact spare tire.

CAUTION!

To avoid damage to your vehicle or tires, observe the
following precautions:
Because of restricted 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 damage. Stop the
vehicle immediately if noise occurs that could
indicate chain breakage. Remove the damaged
parts of the chain before further use.

Install chains on the rear wheels as tightly as

possible and then retighten after driving about

mile (0.8 km).

CAUTION! (Continued)

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

Drive cautiously and avoid severe turns and large

bumps, especially with a loaded vehicle.

Use on rear wheels only.

Do not drive for prolonged period on dry pave-

ment.

Observe the tire chain manufacturer’s instructions

on the method of installation, operating speed,
and conditions for use. Always use the lower
suggested operating speed of the chain manufac-
turer if different from the speed recommended by
the manufacture.
