To minimize tyre and chain wear, do not continue
to use tyre chains when they are no longer
needed.
WARNING:
o When driving on roads covered with snow
or ice, drive at less than 30 km/h (20 mph).
o Use a tyre chains less than 10mm to 16",
17" tyre.
o Avoid sudden stop and turn.
o Tighten firmly not to hear contact sound, if
it still sounds, remove the chains for dam-
age protection.

TYRE ROTATION
The tyre wear characteristics will vary between
each tyre dependant upon the conditions of use.
It is normal for the front tyres to wear more rapidly
than those fitted to the rear of the vehicle and
therefore tyre rotation will provide a means of
helping to ensure an even wear rate across the
tyre set. For vehicles fitted with radial ply tyres,
rotation should be confined to front to rear tyre
alternation. It is not recommended that radial ply
tyres be rotated from side to side.
NOTE:
Aluminium wheels which are not supplied as
Original Equipment should not be mixed on
the same vehicle with the original steel wheels.
WARNING:
When rotating the 215/45 R17 tyres, ensure to
follow the"ROTATION" direction marked on
the sidewall of tyres.
When rotating the tyres of the left and right,
separate the wheel from the tyre and then re-
assemble them. However, it is acceptable
that the steel spare wheel be used in conjunc-
tion with Original Equipment aluminium
wheels since the offset of both wheels is
compatible. Radial and cross ply tyres should
not be mixed on the same vehicle.
