Tire Chains
{
CAUTION:
If your vehicle has P225/75R15, P265/
75R15, P235/75R15, or P235/50R18 size
tires, do not use tire chains. They can
damage your vehicle because there is not
enough clearance. Tire chains used on a
vehicle without the proper amount of
clearance can cause damage to the brakes,
suspension, or other vehicle parts. The
area damaged by the tire chains could
cause you to lose control of your vehicle
and you or others may be injured in a
crash. Use another type of traction device
only if its manufacturer recommends
it for use on your vehicle and tire size
combination and road conditions.
CAUTION: (Continued)
CAUTION: (Continued)
Follow that manufacturer’s instructions.
To help avoid damage to your vehicle,
drive slowly, readjust, or remove the device
if it is contacting your vehicle. Do not
spin the vehicle’s wheels. If you do find
traction devices that will fit, install them
on the rear tires.
Notice: If your vehicle has a tire size other
than P225/75R15, P265/75R15, P235/75R15 or
P235/50R18 use tire chains only where legal and
only when you must. Use chains that are the
proper size for your tires. Install them on the
tires of the rear axle. Do not use chains on the
tires of the front axle. Tighten them as tightly as
possible with the ends securely fastened. Drive
slowly and follow the chain manufacturer’s
instructions. If you can hear the chains
contacting your vehicle, stop and retighten
them. If the contact continues, slow down until
it stops. Driving too fast or spinning the wheels
with chains on will damage your vehicle.
