Tire chains
Observe the following precautions when installing and removing chains.
●
Install and remove tire chains in a safe location.
●
Install tire chains on the rear tires. Do not install tire chains on front tires.
●
Install tire chains on rear tires as tightly as possible. Retighten chains
after driving approximately 100 m (328 ft.).
●
Install tire chains following the instructions provided with the tire chains.

Refueling in cold weather
To help prevent moisture from forming in the fuel system and the risk of its
freezing, use of an antifreeze additive in the fuel tank is recommended dur-
ing cold weather.
Use only additives that are specifically designed for this purpose. When an
antifreeze additive is used, its effect lasts longer if the tank is refilled when-
ever the fuel level reaches half empty.
