SNOW TIRES

If you equip your car with snow tires,
they should be the same size and have
the same load capacity as the original
tires. Snow tires should be installed on
all four wheels; otherwise, poor han-
dling may result.
Snow tires should carry 28 kPa (4 psi)
more air pressure than the pressure
recommended for the standard tires
on the tire label on, or up to the maxi-
mum pressure shown on the tire
sidewall whichever is less.
Do not drive faster than 120 km/h (75
mph) when your car is equipped with
snow tires.

TIRE CHAINS

Tire chains, if necessary should be
installed on the front wheels. Be sure
that the chains are the proper size and
that they are installed in accordance
with the manufacturer's instructions.
To minimize tire and chain wear, do
not continue to use tire chains when
they are no longer needed.
!
WARNING:
o When driving on roads covered
with snow or ice, drive at less
than 30 km/h (20 mph).
o Use the SAE "S" class or wire &
plastic chains.
o Don't use the tire chains in 185/
55R 15 tire to prevent body dam-
age.
o If you have noise caused by
chaws contacting the body, re-
tighten the chain to avoid contact
with the vehicle body.
o Retighten the chains to prevent
from a body damage after driving
0.5 ~ 1 km with equipping chains.
