Tire Chains - Dodge Grand Caravan 2011 Owner's Manual

WARNING! (Continued)
• Failure to equip your vehicle with tires having
adequate speed capability can result in sudden tire
failure and loss of vehicle control.
CAUTION!
Replacing original tires with tires of a different size
may result in false speedometer and odometer read-
ings.

TIRE CHAINS

Use only compact chains, or other traction aids that meet
SAE type "Class S" specifications. Chains must be the
proper size for the vehicle, as recommended by the chain
manufacturer.
NOTE: Do not use tire chains on a compact spare tire.
STARTING AND OPERATING 393
CAUTION!
To avoid damage to your vehicle or tires, observe the
following precautions:
• Use chains on P225/65R16 tires only. P225/65R17
tires do not provide adequate clearance.
• Because of restricted chain clearance between tires
and other suspension components, it is important
that only chains in good condition are used. Bro-
ken chains can cause serious damage. Stop the
vehicle immediately if noise occurs that could
indicate chain breakage. Remove the damaged
parts of the chain before further use.
• Do not exceed 45 mph (70 km/h).
• Drive cautiously and avoid severe turns and large
bumps, especially with a loaded vehicle.
