Tires that are larger or smaller than your vehicle’s original tires may also
affect the accuracy of your speedometer.

SNOW TIRES AND CHAINS

Driving too fast for conditions creates the possibility of loss of
vehicle control.

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

Driving at very high speeds for extended periods of time may result in
damage to vehicle components.

The tires on your vehicle have all-weather treads that provide traction in
rain or snow.

The use of snow cables is not recommended for this vehicle, as damage
to your vehicle may occur under extreme handling or rough road
conditions. However, if you choose to operate the vehicle with snow
cables, avoid these conditions and follow the manufacturer’s
recommendations.

Do not use any type of tire chains, as this will likely cause damage to
your vehicle.
