Tire Chains

If necessary, tire chains must be installed on the front tires.

Make sure the chains are installed according to the chain manufacturer's instructions.

To minimize wear on the tires and chains, do not continue to use tire chains when they are no longer needed.

• When driving on snow- or ice-covered roads, drive at less than 20 mph (30 km/h).
• Use SAE Class "S" or wire-type chains.
• If you hear chains contacting the body, retighten the chains to avoid contact with the vehicle body.
• To prevent body damage, retighten the chains after driving 0.3 to 0.6 miles (0.5 to 1.0 km).
• Do not use tire chains on vehicles equipped with aluminum wheels. If unavoidable, use wire-type chains.
• Use wire chains less than 0.47 in. (12 mm) in size to prevent damage to the chain connection.
