more than recommended on the tire
pressure label (driver's door frame), but
never more than the maximum cold-tire
pressure shown on the tires.

Your vehicle is originally equipped with
all season radials designed to be used all
year around. In some extreme climates
you may find it necessary to replace them
with snow tires during the winter months
to further improve traction on snow and
ice covered roads.

WARNING

Use only the same size and type tires
(snow, radial, or non-radial) on all four
wheels:

Using tires different in size or type is
dangerous. Your vehicle's handling
could be greatly affected and result
in an accident.

CAUTION

Check local regulations before using
studded tires.

recommended limit, whichever is
lower.

Ø

holes, and sharp turns.

spare tire; it may result in damage
to the vehicle and to the tire.

Ø

Do not use chains on roads that
are free of snow or ice. The tires
and chains could be damaged.

Chains may scratch or chip
aluminum wheels.
