Tire chainsTire chains, if necessary, should be
installed on the drive wheels as fol-
lows.
2WD : Front wheels
4WD : All four wheels
If a full set of chains is not
available for a 4WD vehicle,
chains may be installed on
the front wheels only.
Be sure that the chains are installed
in accordance with the manufactur-
er's instructions.
To minimize tire and chain wear, do
not continue to use tire chains when
they are no longer needed.
WARNING
 Drive at lower speeds when
driving on roads covered with
snow or ice.
 Use the SAE "S" class or wire
& plastic chains.
 If you hear noise caused by
chains contacting the body,
retighten the chain to avoid
contact with the vehicle body.
 To prevent body damage,
retighten the chains after driv-
ing 0.5 ~ 1.0 km (0.3 ~ 0.6 miles).

LUBRICANT SPECIFICATIONSRecommended lubricants To help achieve proper engine and
powertrain performance and durabil-
ity, use only lubricants of the proper
quality. The correct lubricants also
help promote engine efficiency that
results in improved fuel economy.
Engine oils labeled Energy
Conserving Oil are now available.
Along with other additional benefits,
they contribute to fuel economy by
reducing the amount of fuel neces-
sary to overcome engine friction.
Often, these improvements are diffi-
cult to measure in everyday driving,
but in a year’s time, they can offer
significant cost and energy savings.
*¹ Refer to the recommended SAE viscosity numbers on the next page.These lubricants and fluids are recommended for use in your vehicle.
