Service and Maintenance
CAUTION
Never drive faster than the
speed for which your tires are
rated, regardless of the legal
speed limit. If you anticipate
driving your vehicle at high
speeds frequently and/or for
prolonged periods of time,
check with your vehicle/tire
dealer for the proper type of
tires to use for your specific
driving and weather conditions.
CAUTION
If you use bias-ply tires on your
vehicle, the wheel rim flanges
could develop cracks after
many miles of driving. A tire
and/or wheel could fail
suddenly, causing a crash. Use
only radial-ply tires with the
wheels on your vehicle.

TIRE CHAINS

NOTICE
Use tire chains only where legal,
and only when you must. Use
chains that are the correct size
for your tires. Install them on
the rear tires as tightly as
possible with the ends securely
fastened.
Do not install tire chains on the
front tires.
Drive slowly and follow the
chain manufacturer's
instructions. If you hear the
chains contacting your vehicle,
stop and retighten them. If the
contact continues, slow down
until it stops.
Driving too fast or spinning the
wheels with chains on will
damage the vehicle.
CAUTION
Do not use tire chains if your
tire size is:
• LT285/75R16
• P265/65R18
There is not enough clearance.
Tire chains used on a vehicle
without the proper amount of
clearance can cause damage to
the brakes, suspension or other
vehicle parts. The area
damaged by the tire chains
could cause you to lose control
of your vehicle and you or
others may be injured in a
crash.
