Before Driving Your Mazda
Driving Tips
wTire Chains
Installing the chains
1.
Secure the chains on the front tires as
tightly as possible. Always follow the
chain manufacturer’s instructions.
Check local regulations before using tire
chains.
CAUTION
2.
Retighten the chains after driving
1/2—1 km (1/4—1/2 mile).
•
Chains may scratch or chip
aluminum wheels. Install tire chains
on steel wheels only.
•
•
Chains may affect handling.
Don’t go faster than 50 km/h (30
mph) or the chain manufacturer’s
recommended limit, whichever is
lower.
•
Drive carefully and avoid bumps,
holes, and sharp turns.
•
•
Avoid locked-wheel braking.
Don’t use chains on a temporary
spare tire; it may result in damage to
the vehicle and to the tire.
•
Don’t use chains on roads that are
free of snow or ice. The tires and
chains could be damaged.
NOTE
If your vehicle is equipped with the tire
pressure monitoring system, the
system may not function correctly
when using tire chains.
Install the chains on the front tires.
Don’t use chains on the rear tires.
Use only SAE Class "S" chains, and make
sure they fit.
