Regulations on the use of tire chains

●

Regulations regarding the use of tire chains vary according to location

and type of road. Always check local regulations before installing

chains.

●

Use SAE Class “S” type radial tire chains, with the exception of radial

cable chains or V-bar type chains.

°

Install the chains on the rear tires.

°

Refer to the explanation that comes with the tire chains for installa-

tion instructions.

●

Retighten the chains after driving 1/4 - 1/2 mile (0.5 - 1.0 km).

■

When driving the vehicle

Accelerate the vehicle slowly and drive at a reduced speed suitable

to road conditions.

When parking the vehicle

Park the vehicle and move the shift lever to “P” without setting the

parking brake. The parking brake may freeze up, preventing it from

being released. If necessary, block the wheels to prevent inadvert-

ent sliding or creeping.
