Tire Chains
{CAUTION:
Don’t use tire chains. There’s not enough
clearance. Tire chains used on a vehicle
without the proper amount of clearance can
cause damage to the brakes, suspension or
other vehicle parts. The area damaged by the
tire chains could cause you to lose control of
your vehicle and you or others may be injured
in a crash. Use another type of traction device
only if its manufacturer recommends it 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 nd traction
devices that will t, install them on the front
tires for front-wheel-drive vehicles. If your
vehicle has all-wheel drive, install traction
devices on either the front tires or all four
tires, but never on the rear tires only.
Accessory Inator
Your vehicle may have an accessory inator. With it, you
can inate things like air mattresses and basketballs, and
you can also use it to bring your tires up to the proper
pressure.
The accessory inator is located in the rear
compartment on the driver’s side. To remove the cover,
pull the tab on the cover and pull it off.
This is the symbol on the
accessory inator switch.
There may be an accessory inator kit stored in the
glove box. It includes a 20-foot (6 m) hose with an air
pressure gage and nozzle adapters.
