Follow these guidelines when using snow tires and chains:
•
Use only SAE class “S” cables or equivalent on the front axle for
P205/60R16 equipped vehicles. SAE class “S” chains or other
conventional link chains may cause damage to the vehicles wheel
house and/or body.
•
Do not install tire chains, cables, or optional traction devices on the rear
tires. This could cause damage to the vehicle’s wheel house or body.
•
Do not use tire chains, cables, or optional traction devices with
optional P225/50R17 or P225/45R18 tires.
•
Install cable chains securely, verifying that the cables do not touch any
wiring, brake lines or fuel lines.
•
Drive cautiously. If you hear the cables rub or bang against your
vehicle, stop and re-tighten the cables. If this does not work, remove
the cables to prevent damage to your vehicle.
•
If possible, avoid fully loading your vehicle.
•
Remove the tire cables when they are no longer needed. Do not use
tire cables on dry roads.
•
The suspension insulation and bumpers will help prevent vehicle
damage. Do not remove these components from your vehicle when
using snow tires and chains.
•
Do not exceed 30 mph (48 km/h) with tire cables on your vehicle.
