Driving your vehicle
and handling of your vehicle may be
adversely affected.
Do not install studded tyres without
first checking local, state and
municipal regulations for possible
restrictions against their use.
Tyre chains
OSP2051263L
Since the sidewalls of radial tyres
are thinner, they can be damaged by
mounting some types of snow
chains on them. Therefore, the use
of snow tyres is recommended
instead of snow chains. Do not
mount tyre chains on vehicles
equipped with aluminium wheels;
snow chains may cause damage to
the wheels. If snow chains must be
used, use wire-type chains with a
thickness of less than 12 mm (0.47
inches). Damage to your vehicle
caused by improper snow chain use
is not covered by your vehicle man -
ufacturers warranty.

Install tyre chains only on the front
tyres.
Do not exceed 30 km/h (20 mph) or
the chain manufacturer s recom -
mended speed limit, whichever is
lower.
CAUTION
Make sure the snow chains are
the correct size and type for your
tyres. Incorrect snow chains can
cause damage to the vehicle body
and suspension and may not be
covered by your vehicle manufac -
turer warranty. Also, the snow
chain connecting hooks may be
damaged from contacting vehicle
components causing the snow
chains to come loose from the
tyre. Make sure the snow chains
are SAE class "S" certified.
Always check chain installation for
proper mounting after driving
approximately 0.5 to 1 km to
ensure safe mounting. Retighten
or remount the chains if they are
loose.
Even with the appropriate chain
installed, do not make a full turn
(turn the steering wheel fully to
one side) when driving the vehicle.
(If you are making a full turn, drive
with the speed below 10 km/h (6
mph).)
