Make sure to install 4 tires that are of the specified size, and that
all 4 tires are the same for the following items:
•Size

Also, make sure to use tire chains that match the size of the tires.
■Before driving the vehicle
Perform the following according to the driving conditions.

frozen. Pour warm water over the frozen area to melt the ice.
Wipe away the water immediately to prevent it from freezing.
