Tire Chains
{
CAUTION:
If your vehicle has P265/65R18 or P275/
55R20 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. Follow that
manufacturer’s instructions. To help avoid
damage to your vehicle, drive slowly,
CAUTION: (Continued)
CAUTION: (Continued)
readjust or remove the device if it is
contacting your vehicle, and do not spin
your vehicle’s wheels.
If you do find traction devices that will fit,
install them on the rear tires.
Notice: If your vehicle has P265/70R17 size
tires, use tire chains only where legal and only
when you must. Use chains that are the
proper size for your vehicle’s tires. Install them
on the rear tires only.
Do not use chains on the front tires.
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.
