SNOW TIRES AND CHAINS

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.

Snow tires must be the same size and grade as the tires you
currently have on your vehicle.

Do not use any type of tire chains on this vehicle. This includes both
conventional and cable-type chains.

The tires on your vehicle have all-weather treads that provide traction in
rain or snow. However, during the winter months in some climates, you
may need to use snow tires.

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT AUTOMOTIVE FUELS

Important safety precautions

Do not overfill the fuel tank. The pressure in an overfilled tank
may cause leakage and lead to fuel spray and fire.

If you do not use the proper fuel cap, the pressure in the fuel
tank can damage the fuel system or cause it to work improperly

in a collision.

The fuel system may be under pressure. If the fuel cap is venting
vapor or if you hear a hissing sound, wait until it stops before

completely removing the cap.

Automotive fuels can cause serious injury or death if misused or
mishandled.
