WARNING! (Continued)

Failure to equip your vehicle with tires having

adequate speed capability can result in sudden tire
failure and loss of vehicle control.

CAUTION!

Replacing original tires with tires of a different size
may result in false speedometer and odometer read-
ings.

TIRE CHAINS
Use only compact chains or other traction aids that meet

SAE type “Class S” specifications. Chains must be the

proper size for the vehicle, as recommended by the chain

manufacturer. Only install tire chains on P235/55R18 size

tires.
NOTE:

Do not use tire chains on a compact spare tire.

CAUTION!

To avoid damage to your vehicle or tires, observe the
following precautions:
Because of restricted chain clearance between tires

and other suspension components, it is important
that only chains in good condition are used. Bro-
ken chains can cause serious damage. Stop the
vehicle immediately if noise occurs that could
indicate chain breakage. Remove the damaged
parts of the chain before further use.

Install chains on the rear wheels as tightly as

possible and then retighten after driving about
