When driving the vehicle
Accelerate the vehicle slowly and drive at a reduced speed suit-
able to the road conditions.

latitudes)

automatic transmission) or 1 or R (vehicles with a manual trans-
mission) without setting the parking brake. The parking brake
may freeze up, preventing it from being released. If necessary,
block the wheels to prevent inadvertent sliding or creeping.

Chain size is regulated for each tire size.
