Tire Chains
{CAUTION:
If your vehicle has P195/60R15,
P205/55R16 or 215/45ZR17 size tires, do
not use tire chains, there is 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,
CAUTION: (Continued)

contacting your vehicle, and do not spin
your wheels.

install them on the front tires.
Notice:If your vehicle has a tire size other than
P195/60R15, P205/55R16 or 215/45ZR17 size
tires, use tire chains only where legal and only
when you must. Use only SAE Class “S” type
chains that are the proper size for your tires.

as tightly as possible with the ends securely
fastened. Drive slowly and follow the chain

chains contacting your vehicle, stop and
retighten them. If the contact continues,
slow down until it stops. Driving too fast or
spinning the wheels with chains on will
