Chain installation
CAUTION
When installing chains,  follow the manu-
facturer's instructions and mount them as
tightly  as   you  can.   Drive  slowly   with
chains  installed. If  you  hear the  chains
contacting the body or chassis,  stop and
tighten  them. If  they still  make  contact,
slow  down  until   it  stops.  Remove  the
chains as  soon as  you begin driving  on
cleared roads.
Make  sure  the  snow  chains  are
the correct size and  type for your
tires.   Incorrect snow chains  can
cause damage to the vehicle body
and suspension  and  may not  be
covered by your vehicle manufac-
turer   warranty.  Also,   the  snow
chain  connecting hooks  may  be
damaged from contacting vehicle
components   causing  the   snow
chains  to  come  loose  from   the
tire.  Make  sure  the  snow  chains
are SAE class “S” certified.
