CAUTION!

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

SUPPLEMENTAL TIRE PRESSURE
INFORMATION — IF EQUIPPED
A light load vehicle condition is defined as two passen-
gers [150 lbs (68 kg) each] plus 200 lbs (91 kg) of cargo.
Cold tire inflation pressures for a lightly loaded vehicle
will be found on the face of the driver’s door.

TIRE CHAINS
Use “Class U” chains or other traction aids that meet SAE
Type “U” specifications.

NOTE:

Chains must be the proper size for the vehicle,

as recommended by the chain manufacturer.

CAUTION!

To avoid damage to your vehicle, tires or chains,
observe the following precautions:
Because of limited 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 vehicle damage. Stop
the vehicle immediately if noise occurs that could
suggest chain breakage. Remove the damaged
parts of the chain before further use.

Install chains as tightly as possible and then

retighten after driving about 1/2 mi (0.8 km).

Do not exceed 45 mph (72 km/h).
Drive cautiously and avoid severe turns and large

bumps, especially with a loaded vehicle.

Do not install tire chains on front wheels of 4x2

vehicles.
