for use
on
your
vehicle and
tire
size combination
and
road
conditions. Follow that
manufacturer’s
instructions.
To
help
avoid
damage
to
your
vehicle, drive slowly, readjust
or
remove the
device if
it’s contacting
your vehicle, and don’t
spin
your wheels.
If
you do
find
traction
devices that will fit,
install
them on the
rear
tires.
If
you have other tires, use tire
chains only where
legal and only
when
you
must.
Use
only
SAE
Class
“S”
type chains that
are
the
proper
size for
your
tires. Install them on the
rear
tires and tighten
them
as
tightly as possible
with the
ends
securely
fastened. Drive
slowly and follow the
chain
manufacturer’s
instructions.
If
you can
hear
the

and
retighten
them.
If
the
contact continues, slow
down until it
stops. Driving too fast
or
spinning
the wheels
with

Appearance Care
Remember,
cleaning
products
can
be
hazardous.
Some
are
toxic.
Others
can
burst
into flame
if
you
strike
a

on
a
hot
part
of
the
vehicle.
Some
are
dangerous
if
you
breathe
their
fumes
in a
closed
space.
When
you
use
anything
from a
container
to
clean
your
vehicle,
be
sure
to
follow
the
manufacturer’s
warnings
and
instructions.
And
always
open
