SNOW TIRES AND CHAINS

WARNING: Driving too fast for conditions creates the

possibility of loss of vehicle control. Driving at very high speeds

for extended periods of time may result in damage to vehicle

components.

NOTE:

Snow tires must be the same size and grade as the tires you

currently have on your vehicle.
The tires on your vehicle have all weather treads to provide traction in

rain and snow. However, in some climates, you may need to use snow

tires and chains. If you need to use snow tires and chains, it is

recommended that steel wheels are used of the same size and

specifications as those originally installed.
Follow these guidelines when using snow tires and chains:

Do not use tire chains on aluminum wheels. Chains may chip the

wheels.

Use only SAE Class S chains.

Install chains securely, verifying that the chains do not touch any

wiring, brake lines or fuel lines.

Drive cautiously. Ensure you obtain the proper cables or chains

for you vehicle. Test fit the cables or chains before using them in

snow and/or ice. If you hear the cables or chains rub or bang

against the vehicle, stop and retighten them. If this does not

work, remove the cables or chains to prevent vehicle damage.

Have the cables or chains fitted by a professional before

proceeding.

If possible, avoid fully loading your vehicle.

Remove the tire chains when they are no longer needed. Do not use

tire chains on dry roads.

The suspension insulation and bumpers will help prevent vehicle

damage. Do not remove these components from your vehicle when

using snow tires and chains.

VEHICLE LOADING – WITH AND WITHOUT A TRAILER

This section will guide you in the proper loading of your vehicle and/or

trailer, to keep your loaded vehicle weight within its design rating

capability, with or without a trailer. Properly loading your vehicle will

provide maximum return of vehicle design performance. Before loading
