Driving your vehicle

CAUTION

When using tire chains:

•

Wrong size chains or improperly

installed chains can damage your

vehicle's brake lines, suspension,

body and wheels.

•

Use SAE “S” class or wire chains.

•

If you hear noise caused by

chains contacting the body,

retighten the chain to prevent

contact with the vehicle body.

•

To prevent body damage, retight-

en the chains after driving 0.5~1.0

km (0.3~0.6 miles).

•

Do not use tire chains on vehicles

equipped with aluminum wheels.

If unavoidable, use a wire type

chain.

•

Use wire chains less than 15 mm

(0.59 in) wide to prevent damage

to the chain’s connection.
