Don't go faster than 50 km/h (30
mph) or the chain manufacturer's
recommended limit, whichever is

holes, and sharp turns.

Avoid locked-wheel braking.

Don't use chains on a temporary
spare tire; it may result in damage to
the vehicle and to the tire.

Don't use chains on roads that are
free of snow or ice. The tires and
chains could be damaged.

NOTE

If your vehicle is equipped with the tire
pressure monitoring system, the system
may not function correctly when using
tire chains.

Don't use chains on the rear tires.
Use only SAE Class
