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. 5
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).
• Drive cautiously and avoid severe turns and large
bumps, especially with a loaded vehicle. (Continued)
CAUTION! (Continued)
• Do not install tire chains on front wheels of
vehicles.
• Do not drive for a prolonged period on dry pave-
ment.
• Observe the tire chain manufacturer’s instructions
on method of installation, operating speed, and conditions for usage. Always use the lower sug- gested operating speed of the chain manufacturer if different than the speed recommended by the manufacturer.
These cautions apply to all chain traction devices, includ- ing link and cable (radial) chains. Tire chain use is permitted only on the rear tires of your vehicle.
NOTE: The use of class “S” chains is permitted on your vehicle with P245/70R16 tires.
CAUTION!
• Do not use tire chains on vehicles equipped with
tires other than P245/70R16. There may not be adequate clearance for the chains and you are risking structural or body damage to your vehicle.
• Do not use tire chains on the front wheels of your vehicle. There may not be adequate clearance for the chains and you are risking structural or body damage to your vehicle.
