manufacturer's instructions and
mount them as tightly as you can.

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.

the vehicle on level ground away
from traffic. Turn on the vehicle
Hazard Warning flashers and place a
triangular emergency warning
device behind the vehicle if available.
Always place the vehicle in P (Park),

the engine before installing snow

sion, body and wheels.

Use high quality ethylene glycol
coolant
Your vehicle is delivered with high
quality ethylene glycol coolant in the
cooling system. It is the only type of
coolant that should be used because
it helps prevent corrosion in the
cooling system, lubricates the water
pump and prevents freezing. Be
sure to replace or replenish your
coolant refer to "Normal mainte
nance schedule" on page 8-14.
Before winter, have your coolant
tested to assure that its freezing
point is sufficient for the tempera
tures anticipated during the winter.
