Tire Care and Maintenance
• Do not drive the vehicle without the
chains properly installed.
• Drive slowly. Do not exceed 48 km/h.
• Remove the tire chains as soon as
conditions allow.
NOTE: Tire chains are prohibited in some
jurisdictions. Check local laws before
installing tire chains.
CAUTION: Using non-recommended
tire chains, or using tire chains on
other sized tires can damage the
suspension, body, wheels, and/or
brake lines. Damage caused by using
non-recommended tire chains, or
incorrectly installing tire chains, is not
covered by the warranty.
CAUTION: Do not use tire chains on
the front tires.
CAUTION: Never deflate your tires to
put on tire chains. When re-inflated,
the chains might fit too tightly and
cause tire damage.
CAUTION: Ensure that the tire chains
cannot touch suspension components
or brake lines. If you hear the chains
making unusual noises that would
indicate contact with Model 3, stop
and investigate immediately.
