Tire Chains
{
WARNING
Tire chains used on a vehicle
without the proper amount of
clearance can cause damage to
the brakes, suspension, or other
vehicle parts. The area damaged
by the tire chains could cause you
to lose control of the vehicle and
you or others may be injured in a
crash. To help avoid damage to
the vehicle, drive slowly, readjust,
or remove the device if it is
contacting the vehicle. Do not
spin the vehicle's tires. Follow the
manufacturer's instructions.
Notice: Use tire chains only
where legal and only when you
must. Use chains that are the
proper size for the tires. Install
them on the tires of the rear axle.
Do not use chains on the tires of
the front axle. Tighten them as
tightly as possible with the
ends securely fastened. Drive
slowly and follow the chain
manufacturer's instructions.
If you can hear the chains
contacting the vehicle, stop and
retighten them. If the contact
continues, slow down until it
stops. Driving too fast or
spinning the wheels with chains
on will damage the vehicle. For Cutaway models with
LT245/75R16, LT225/75R16 or
LT215/85R16 size single or dual
rear tires, use Low Profile Z-Chain
or SAE Class S cables.
For Cargo or Passenger models
with P245/70R17, LT225/75R16 or
LT245/75R16 size tires, use
Low Profile Z-Chain cables.
SAE Class S chains are not
recommended.
If the vehicle has dual rear tires,
do not use individual tire chains.
Use tire chains that fit across both
dual tires.
