Tire chains
Since the sidewalls of radial tires are
thinner, they can be damaged by mount-
ing some types of tire chains on them.
Therefore, the use of snow tires is rec-
ommended instead of tire chains. Do not
mount tire chains on vehicles equipped
with aluminum wheels; tire chains may
cause damage to the wheels. If tire
chains must be used, use wire-type
chains with a thickness of less than 0.47
in (12 mm). Damage to your vehicle
caused by improper tire chain use is not
covered by your vehicle manufacturers
warranty.
Install tire chains only on the rear tires.Chain installation
When installing chains, follow the manu-
facturer's instructions and mount them as
tightly as you can. Drive slowly with
chains installed. If you hear the chains
contacting the body or chassis, stop and
tighten them. If they still make contact,
slow down until it stops. Remove the
chains as soon as you begin driving on
cleared roads.
CAUTION
Make sure the tire chains are the
correct size and type for yourtires. Incorrect tire chains cancause damage to the vehicle bodyand suspension and may not be covered by your vehicle manufac-turer warranty. Also, the tire chainconnecting hooks may be dam-aged from contacting vehiclecomponents causing the tirechains to come loose from thetire. Make sure the tire chains areSAE class “S” certified.
Always check chain installation for proper mounting after drivingapproximately 0.3 to 0.6 miles (0.5to 1 km) to ensure safe mounting.Retighten or remount the chainsif they are loose.

from traffic. Turn on the vehicle
Hazard Warning flashers and place
a triangular emergency warning
device behind the vehicle if avail-
able. Always place the vehicle in P
