Selecting tire chains

Vehicles with 15-inch tires

Use the tire chains of correct size and type.

Use SAE Class “S” type radial tire chains except radial cable chains or
V-bar type chains.

Vehicles with 16-inch and 17-inch tires

Use the correct tire chain size when mounting the snow chains.
Chain size is regulated for each tire size.

Side chain:

0.12 in. (3 mm) in diameter
0.39 in. (10 mm) in width
1.18 in. (30 mm) in length

Cross chain:

0.16 in. (4 mm) in diameter

0.98 in. (25 mm) in length

When driving the vehicle
Accelerate the vehicle slowly and drive at a reduced speed suit-
able to road conditions.

When parking the vehicle
Park the vehicle and move the shift lever to P (automatic trans-
mission), 1 or R (manual transmission) without setting the park-
ing brake. The parking brake may freeze up, preventing it from
being released. If necessary, block the wheels to prevent inad-
vertent sliding or creeping.
