Tire chains
Tire chains cannot be used on your vehicle because of the lack of
clearance between the tires and vehicle body.
When tire chains cannot be used, use of another type of traction
device (such as spring chains) may be acceptable if use on your vehi-
cle is recommended by the device manufacturer, taking into account
tire size and road conditions.
Follow the device manufacturer's instructions, especially regarding
maximum vehicle speed.
To help avoid damage to your vehicle, drive slowly, readjust or
remove the device if it is contacti ng your vehicle, and do not spin your
wheels. Damage caused to your vehi cle by use of a traction device is
not covered under warranty.
Make certain that any traction de vice you use is an SAE class “S”
device, and use it on the rear wheels only.
Always use the utmost care when driving with a traction device. Over-
confidence because you are using a tr action device could easily lead
to a serious accident.
Selecting tire chains
We recommend that you consult your Toyota dealer for information
about the chains that you can use.
