Tire Chains (Traction Devices)

Use of traction devices require sufficient tire-to-body clear-

ance. Follow these recommendations to guard against

damage.

Traction device must be of proper size for the tire, as

recommended by the traction device manufacturer.

traction device that meets the SAE type “Class S”

specification is recommended.

WARNING!

Using tires of different size and type (M+S, Snow)
between front and rear axles can cause unpredictable
handling. You could lose control and have a collision.

CAUTION!

To avoid damage to your vehicle or tires, observe the
following precautions:

Because of restricted traction device clearance be-
tween tires and other suspension components, it is
important that only traction devices in good condi-
tion are used. Broken devices can cause serious
damage. Stop the vehicle immediately if noise occurs
that could indicate device breakage. Remove the
damaged parts of the device before further use.

Install device as tightly as possible and then re-
tighten after driving about ½ mile (0.8 km).

Do not exceed 30 mph (48 km/h).

Drive cautiously and avoid severe turns and large
bumps, especially with a loaded vehicle.

Do not drive for a prolonged period on dry pave-
ment.

Observe the traction device manufacturer’s instruc-
tions on the method of installation, operating speed,
and conditions for use. Always use the suggested
operating speed of the device manufacturer’s if it is
less than 30 mph (48 km/h).
