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

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” certi-
fied.
