Driving your vehicle
Tire chains
Since the sidewalls of radial tires are
thinner, they can be damaged by
mounting some types of snow chains
on them. Therefore, the use of snow
tires is recommended instead of
snow chains. Do not mount tire
chains on vehicles equipped with
aluminum wheels; snow chains may
cause damage to the wheels. If snow
chains must be used, use wire-type
chains with a thickness of less than
0.47 in. Damage to your vehicle
caused by improper snow chain use
is not covered by your vehicle manu-
facturer's warranty.

When using tire chains, install them
on the front tires only.
CAUTION
Make sure the snow chains are
the correct size and type for
your tires. Incorrect snow chains
can cause damage to the vehicle
body and suspension and may
not be covered by your vehicle
manufacturer warranty.

• The snow chain connecting hooks
may be damaged from contacting
vehicle components causing the
snow chains to come loose from
the tire. Make sure the snow chains
are SAE class "S" certified.
• Always check chain installation for
proper mounting after driving
approximately 0.3 to 0.6 miles to
ensure safe mounting. Retighten or
remount the chains if they are
loose.
Chain installation
When installing chains, follow the
manufacturer's
mount them as tightly as you can.

Snow chains
Drive slowly with chains installed. If
you hear the chains contacting the
body or chassis, stop and tighten
them. If they still make contact, slow
down until it stops. Remove the
chains as soon as you begin driving
on cleared roads.
When mounting snow chains,
park the vehicle on level ground
away from traffic. Turn on the
vehicle Hazard Warning flashers
and place a triangular emer-
gency warning device behind the
vehicle if available. Always place
the vehicle in P (Park), apply the
parking brake and turn off the
engine before installing snow
chains.
