WINTER DRIVING
i   Information
Using  tire  chains  are  illegal  in  some
states.    Check    state    laws,    before
installing tire chains.
Snow tires
When  installing   snow   tires,  make
sure they are radial tires of the same
size  and load  range as  the  original
ones.  Install  snow  tires  on all  four
wheels   to  balance   your   vehicle’s
handling  in  all  weather  conditions.
Keep in mind that the traction provid-
ed by  snow tires on  a dry road  may
not be the same as the original tires.
You  should   cautiously  drive,   even
when  a road  surface  is  dry. Check
the  recommended speed  maximum
with your tire dealer.
OVI055049N
The  severe   weather  conditions   of
winter  quickly   wear  out   tires  and
cause  other  problems. To  minimize
winter driving  problems,  you should
take the following suggestions:
Snowy or icy conditions
To  drive  your  vehicle   in  the  deep
snow,  it  may  be  necessary  to  use
snow   tires   or  tire   chains.   When
installing snow  tires, it  is necessary
to select  tires in  the equivalent  size
and type to the original  ones. Failure
to  do so  may  adversely affect  your
safety  and   handling.  Furthermore,
speeding, rapid accelerating, sudden
braking and sharp turning are poten-
tially hazardous.
WARNING
-
Snow tire size
Snow tires should be equivalent
in size and type  to the vehicle's
original   ones.  Otherwise,   the
safety   and   handling   of  your
vehicle may be adversely affect-
ed.
When  decelerating,  set  the  engine
brake  to  the fullest  extent.  Sudden
braking on  a snowy or icy  road may
cause a skid.You need to keep a suf-
ficient  distance   from  a   vehicle  in
front. Also, gently depress the brake.
It should  be noted that installing  tire
chains   provides  a   greater  driving
force, but do  not prevent a sideways
skid.
Do  not  install  studded  tires  before
checking the local, state and  munici-
pal regulations. There may be a pos-
sible restriction against using those.
