274 STARTING AND OPERATING TIRE CHAINS CAUTION! To avoid damage to your vehicle or tires, observe the following precautions: • Because of restricted chain clearance between tires and other suspension components, it is important that only chains in good condition are used. Broken chains can cause serious damage. Stop the vehicle immediately if noise occurs that could indicate chain breakage. Remove the damaged parts of the chain before further use. • Install chains on the rear wheels as tightly as possible and then retighten after driving about 1⁄2 mile (0.8 km). • Do not exceed 30 mph (48 km/h). Tire chains that are recommended for this vehicle are listed below: • Mopar P/N 82206828 with P235/70R16 and P235/ 65R17 tires. • Mopar P/N 82207074 with P215/75R16 tires. NOTE: In order to avoid damage to tires, chains, and your vehicle do not drive for a prolonged period of time on dry pavement. Observe the tire chain manufacturer's instructions on method of installation, operating speed, and conditions for usage. Always use the lower suggested operating speed if both the chain manufacturer and vehicle manufacturer suggest a maximum speed. This notice applies to all chain traction devices, including link and cable (radial) chains. • Drive cautiously and avoid severe turns and large bumps, especially with a loaded vehicle. • Do not drive for prolonged period on dry pavement. • Observe the tire chain manufacturer's instructions on the method of installation, operating speed, and conditions for use. Always use the lower suggested operating speed of the chain manufacturer if different than the speed recommended by the manufacture.
