as it is harmful to the eyes and
may also cause damage to
painted surfaces. If fluid is
spilled, wipe it up as soon as
possible.

fluid.
Also, the additives in different
brands may result in a chemi-
cal reaction when mixed
together, so avoid mixing differ-
ent brands if possible.

cap closed to prevent the brake

CAUTION
(1) If your vehicle is equipped with
anti-lock brake system (ABS), in
order to ensure that the anti-lock
brake system (ABS) will oper-
ate correctly in situations where
tyre chains have been fitted,
drive in“4H”or“4L”for part
time 4WD, or in“4H”,“4HLc”or
“4LLc”for super select 4WD.
(2) Practice fitting the chains before
you need them. Don’t expect
help from other people in the
cold.
(3) Choose a clear straight stretch of
road where you can pull off and
still be seen while you are fit-
ting the chains.
(4) Do not fit chains before you need
them. This will wear out your
tyres and the road surface.
(5) After driving around 100-300
metres, stop and retighten the
chains.
(6) Care should be taken with
extremes of steering lock to pre-
vent possible contact between
the chains and the vehicle body.

exceed 50 km/h (31 mph).
Remember, fitting chains is not
going to stop accidents from
happening.
CAUTION
( 8) When tyre chains are installed,
take care that they do not dam-
age the disc wheel or body.
( 9) An aluminium wheel can be
damaged by a tyre chain while
driving. When fitting a tyre
chain on an aluminium wheel,
take care that no part of the
chain and fitting can be
brought into contact with the
wheel disc.
(10) When installing or removing a
tyre chain, take care that hands
and other parts of your body
are not injured by the sharp
edges of the vehicle body.
(11) Install the chains only on the
rear tyres and tighten them as
tightly as possible with the
ends securely fastened.
NOTE
The laws and regulations concerning the
use of tyre chains vary. Find out and fol-
low the laws and regulations in your driv-
ing area.
