CAUTION
TIRE CHAINS
If snow tires are needed, it is necessary
to select tires equivalent in size and load
rating to the original equipment tires. If
you do not, it can adversely affect the
safety and handling of your vehicle.

Use of tire chains may be prohibited ac-
cording to location. Check the local laws
before installing tire chains. When install-
ing tire chains, make sure they are the
proper size for the tires on your vehicle
and are installed according to the chain
manufacturer’s suggestions. Use only SAE
class “S” chains. Class “S” chains are
used on vehicles with restricted tire to ve-
hicle clearance. Vehicles that can use
Class “S” chains are designed to meet
the minimum clearances between the tire
and the closest vehicle suspension or
body component required to accommo-
date the use of a winter traction device
(tire chains or cables). The minimum
clearances are determined using the fac-
tory equipped tires. Other types may
damage your vehicle. Use chain ten-
sioners when recommended by the tire
chain manufacturer to ensure a tight fit.
Loose end links of the tire chain must be
secured or removed to prevent the possi-
bility of whipping action damage to the
fenders or underbody. If possible, avoid
fully loading your vehicle when using tire
chains. In addition, drive at a reduced

Ifyou operate your vehicle insnowy oricy
conditions, INFINITI recommends the use
of snow or all season tires on all four
wheels.

ONLY use spare tires specified for the
AWDmodel.
Ifexcessive tire wear isfound, itisrecom-
mended that all four tires be replaced
with tires of the same size, brand, con-
struction and tread pattern. The tire pres-
sure and wheel alignment should also be
checked and corrected as necessary. Con-
tact an INFINITI dealer.
For additional traction on icy roads, stud-
ded tires may be used. However, some
provinces and states prohibit their use.
Check local, state and provincial laws be-
fore installing studded tires. Skid and
traction capabilities of studded snow
tires, on wet or dry surfaces, may be
poorer than that of non-studded snow
tires.
Tire chains must be installed only on the
rearwheels andnotonthefrontwheels.
Do not drive with tire chains on paved
roads which are clear of snow. Driving
