TIRE CHAINS (TRACTION DEVICES)

Use of traction devices require sufficient tire-to-body

clearance. Follow these recommendations to guard

against damage:

• Traction device must be of proper size for the tire, as

recommended by the traction device manufacturer.

• Install on front tires only.
• Due to limited clearance, a 225/65R17 tire with a

Security Chain Company (SCC) Super Z6 low profile

traction device or equivalent is recommended.

WARNING!

Using tires of different size and type (M+S, Snow)
between front and rear axles can cause unpredictable
handling. You could lose control and have a collision.

CAUTION!

To avoid damage to your vehicle or tires, observe the
following precautions:
Because of restricted traction device clearance be-

tween tires and other suspension components, it is
important that only traction devices in good condi-
tion are used. Broken devices can cause serious
damage. Stop the vehicle immediately if noise
occurs that could indicate device breakage. Remove
the damaged parts of the device before further use.
