TIRE CHAINS

CAUTION!

• The use of chains is permitted only on vehicles

equipped with P245/70R16 tires.

• Use only “Class S” chains or other traction aids

that meet SAE Type “S” specifications.

• Tire chain use is permitted only on the rear tires.
• 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 mile (0.8 km).

• Do not exceed 45 mph (72 km/h).
