Snowy or icy conditions
Snow tires
If you  mount snow tires on  your vehicle,
make  sure  they  are  radial  tires  of  the
same size and load range as the original
tires. Mount snow tires on all four wheels
to balance  your vehicle’s  handling in  all
weather conditions. Keep in mind that the
traction  provided  by  snow  tires on  dry
roads may  not be  as high as  your vehi-
cle's original equipment tires. You should
drive cautiously even when the roads are
clear. Check with the tire dealer  for max-
imum speed recommendations.
To drive your vehicle in deep snow, it may
be  necessary  to  use  snow  tires  or  to
install  tire chains  on  your tires.  If snow
tires are needed, it is necessary to select
tires  equivalent in  size  and type  of  the
original equipment tires. Failure  to do so
may adversely affect the safety and han-
dling of your car. Furthermore, speeding,
rapid  acceleration, sudden  brake  appli-
cations,  and sharp  turns  are potentially
very hazardous practices.
During deceleration,  use engine braking
to the fullest extent. Sudden  brake appli-
cations on snowy or icy roads may cause
skids  to occur.  You need  to  keep  suffi-
cient  distance   between  the  vehicle  in
operation in front  and your vehicle. Also,
apply the brake gently. It should be noted
that installing  tire chains  on the  tire will
provide  a greater  driving  force,  but will
not prevent side skids.

The  more severe  weather conditions  of
winter  result in  greater  wear  and other
problems. To  minimize  the  problems  of
winter  driving,  you  should  follow  these
suggestions:
WARNING - Snow  tire size
Snow tires should  be equivalent in
size and type  to the vehicle's stan-
dard  tires.   Otherwise,  the   safety
and  handling of  your  vehicle  may
be adversely affected.
Do not  install  studded tires  without first
checking local, state and municipal regu-
lations  for  possible  restrictions  against
their use.
NOTICE
Tire  chains  are  not  legal  in  all  states.
Check   state   laws   before  fitting   tire
chains.
