6. In-service maintenance
6.8 Tire chain
In winter, driving in harsh environments such
as snowy or icy roads can increase the degree
of tire wear or cause other failures. To reduce
failures in winter, the following opinions must
be followed:
-
When driving in deep snow, it is
necessary to install tire chains on
the tires. If so, be sure to choose an
equivalent product whose size and type
meet the specifications of the tires on the
vehicle. Failure to do this will adversely
affect the performance and safety of the
vehicle. Moreover, operations such as
full-load driving, speeding, emergency
acceleration, emergency braking, and
emergency turning are potentially
dangerous.
- During deceleration, make full use of
the engine braking function. Emergency
braking on snowy or icy roads will cause
the vehicle to drift and slip. Maintain an
appropriate safety distance from the
vehicle in front, depress the brake pedal
slightly, and pay attention to that installing
tire chains on the tires can increase
certain friction force, but cannot prevent
sideslip.
NOTE
Various countries and regions have
different regulations on tire chains. Before
assembling tire chains, please refer to the
laws and regulations of the corresponding
country and region. Do not install tire
chains without understanding the laws and
regulations of the corresponding country
and region that may restrict the use of tire
chains.
CAUTION
● For installation of tire chains on all tires,
ensure that the vehicle can be driven
in a balanced manner in all weathers.
It shall be borne in mind that after
installation of tire chains, the vehicle
may be underpower. Even if the road
surface is in good condition, drive
carefully. While driving, neither exceed
the specified speed limit of tire chains
nor exceed 50 km/h, whichever is lower.
CAUTION
● If tire chains are installed on the tires,
the size and type of tire chains shall be
consistent with those of the standard
tires of the vehicle. Otherwise, the
driving safety and maneuvering of the
vehicle will be adversely affected.
● Tire chains must be installed in pairs on
the front wheels rather than on the rear
wheels.
● Do not install the tire chain on an
emergency spare tire. If a spare tire is
installed on the front wheel and a tire
chain is required, be sure to exchange
the positions of the spare tire and the
rear tire.
● Do not use tire chains on dry ground.
After driving to snow-free roads, remove
tire chains.
● After installing the tire chains as closely
as possible to the front tires, drive
0.5~1.0 km, and then tighten the tire
chains again.
