Maintenance
Winter Tires
If driving on snowy or frozen roads, mount all season marked  M+S tires, snow tires, 
or tire chains; reduce speed; and maintain su fficient distance between vehicles when 
driving.
Be particularly careful when operating  the steering wheel or brakes to prevent 
skidding.
Use tire chains, snow tires, or all season  tires when necessary or according to the 
law.
When mounting, refer to  the following points.
For winter tires:
• Select the size and load ranges that  are the same as the original tires.
• Mount the tires to all four wheels.
For tire chains:
• Install them on the front tires only.
• Because your vehicle has limited tire cl earance, we strongly recommend using the 
chains listed below:
• Follow the chain manufacturer’s instruction when installing. Mount them as 
tightly as you can.
• Check that the chains do not to uch the brake lines or suspension.
• Drive slowly.
