Snow Traction Devices

If driving on snowy or frozen roads, mount winter tyres, or tyre chains; reduce
speed; and maintain sufficient distance between vehicles when driving.
Be particularly careful when operating the steering wheel or brakes to prevent skidding.
Use tyre chains, winter tyres, or all season tyres when necessary or according to the law.
When mounting, refer to the following points.
For winter tyres:
• Select the size and load ranges that are the same as the original tyres.
• Mount the tyres to all four wheels.
For tyre chains:
• Consult a dealer before purchasing any type of chains for your vehicle.
• Install them on the front tyres only.
• Because your vehicle has limited tyre clearance, we strongly recommend using the
chains listed below:
