pension. Those damages may
not be covered by your vehicle
manufacturer's warranty.

OVI055136N
Since the sides of radial tires are thin-
ner, they may be damaged by
installing some types of snow chains.
Therefore, snow tires are more rec-
ommended than snow chains. Do not
install tire chains on tires over the alu-
minum wheels. Snow chains may
cause damage to those wheels.
When snow chains must be used, use
the AutoSock (fabric snow chain).
Damage to your vehicle caused from
improper snow chains is not covered
by your vehicle manufacturer's war-
ranty.
Chain installation
When installing the AutoSock, follow
the manufacturer's instructions and
tighten them to the fullest. Slowly
drive,
when
the
AutoSock
is
installed. While hearing a snapping
sound between the AutoSock and
the vehicle body (or chassis), stop
the vehicle and tighten the AutoSock.
When still hearing the snapping
sound after tightening, slow down
the vehicle until it stops. Immediately
remove the AutoSock before driving
on a cleared road.
Install the AutoSock only on the rear
tires.
