Tire chains
Tire chains, if necessary, should be
installed on the drive wheels as fol-
lows.
2WD : Front wheels
4WD : All four wheels
If a full set of chains is not
available for a 4WD vehicle,
chains may be installed on
the front wheels only.
Be sure that the chains are installed
in accordance with the manufactur-
er's instructions.
To minimize tire and chain wear, do
not continue to use tire chains when
they are no longer needed.
✽
✽ NOTICE
• If you hear noise caused by chains
contacting the body, retighten the
chain to avoid contact with the
vehicle body.
• To prevent body damage, retight-
en the chains after driving 0.5 ~
1.0 km (0.3 ~ 0.6 miles).
WARNING -
Snow or ice
• Drive at lower speeds when
driving on roads covered with
snow or ice.
• Use the SAE "S" class or wire
& plastic chains.
