The use of tire chains may
adversely affect vehicle handling:
mount them as tightly possible. Drive
slowly (less than 30 km/h (20 mph))
with chains installed. If you hear the
chains contacting the body or chas-

make contact, slow down until the
noise stops. Remove the tire chains
as soon as you begin driving on
cleared roads.
