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

wiring, brake lines or fuel lines.

• Drive cautiously. If you hear the chains rub or bang against your

vehicle, stop and re-tighten the chains. If this does not work, remove
the chains to prevent damage to your vehicle.

• 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.
