Chain installation

Install the chains on the rear tires as tightly as possible.
Do not use tire chains on the front tires. Retighten chains
after driving 0.5 — 1.0 km (1/4 — 1/2 mile).
When installing chains on your tires, carefully follow the
instructions of the chain manufacturer.
CAUTION
D Do not exceed 50 km/h (30 mph) or the chain
manufacturer's recommended
whichever is lower.
D Drive carefully avoiding bumps, holes, and sharp
turns, which may cause the vehicle to bounce.
D Avoid sharp turns or locked wheel braking, as use of
chains may adversely affect vehicle handling.
D When driving with chains installed, be sure to drive
carefully. Slow down before entering curves to avoid
losing control of the vehicle. Otherwise an accident
may occur.
