Chain installation
When installing chains, follow the
manufacturer's
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.
CAUTION
Make sure the tire chains are
the correct size and type for
your tires.

the vehicle body and suspen-

Mounting chains
Since the sidewalls of radial tires are
thinner, they can be damaged by
mounting some types of tire chains on
them. Therefore, the use of snow tires
is recommended instead of tire
chains. Do not mount tire chains on
vehicles equipped with aluminum
wheels; tire chains may cause dam-
age to the wheels. If tire chains must
be used, use wire-type chains with a
thickness of less than 0.47 in (12 mm).
Damage to your vehicle caused by
improper tire chain use is not covered
by your vehicle manufacturers war-
ranty.
When mounting tire chains,
park the vehicle on level ground
away from traffic. Turn on the
vehicle Hazard Warning flashers
and place a triangular emer-
gency warning device behind
the vehicle if available. Always
place the vehicle in P (Park),
apply the parking brake and
turn off the engine before
installing tire chains.
•
Always check chain installa-
tion for proper mounting after
driving approximately 0.3 to
0.6
miles (0.5 to 1 km) to
ensure safe mounting.
Retighten or remount the
chains if they are loose.
Install tire chains only on the rear tires.
