TIRE CHAINS (TRACTION DEVICES)

Use of traction devices require sufficient tire-to-body

clearance. Follow these recommendations to guard

against damage.

• Traction device must be of proper size for the tire, as

recommended by the traction device manufacturer.

• Install on Rear Tires Only

• Due to limited clearance, Thule XG-12 Pro or equiva-

lent is recommended on P245/70/R17, P265/60R18 or

265/50R20 tires.

Using tires of different size and type (M+S, Snow)

between front and rear axles can cause unpredictable

handling. You could lose control and have a collision.

To avoid damage to your vehicle or tires, observe the

following precautions:

• Because of restricted traction device clearance be-

tween tires and other suspension components, it is

important that only traction devices in good condi-

tion are used. Broken devices can cause serious

damage. Stop the vehicle immediately if noise

occurs that could indicate device breakage. Remove

the damaged parts of the device before further use.
