CAUTION!

(Continued)

Install device as tightly as possible and then re-

tighten after driving about ½ mile (0.8 km).

Do not exceed 30 mph (48 km/h).

Drive cautiously and avoid severe turns and large

bumps, especially with a loaded vehicle.

Do not drive for a prolonged period on dry pave-

ment.

Observe the traction device manufacturer’s instruc-

tions on the method of installation, operating
speed, and conditions for use. Always use the
suggested operating speed of the device manufac-
turer’s if it is less than 30 mph (48 km/h).

Do not use traction devices on a compact spare tire.

TIRE ROTATION RECOMMENDATIONS

The tires on the front and rear of your vehicle operate at

different loads and perform different steering, driving,

and braking functions. For these reasons, they wear at

unequal rates.
These effects can be reduced by timely rotation of tires.

The benefits of rotation are especially worthwhile with

aggressive tread designs such as those on all season type

tires. Rotation will increase tread life, help to maintain

mud, snow, and wet traction levels, and contribute to a

smooth, quiet ride.
Refer to the “Maintenance Schedule” for the proper

maintenance intervals. Remember, more frequent rota-

tion is permissible if desired. Also, correct for anything

causing rapid or unusual wear prior to performing the

tire rotation.
