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 sufficie nt 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 ti res 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 clearance, 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.
Cable-type: SCC Ra dial Chain SC1036
Not recommended to use any type of chains

When tire chains are mounted, follow the chain 
manufacturer’s instructi ons regarding vehicle 
operational limits.
If your vehicle is equipp ed with summer tires, be 
aware that these tires are not designed for winter 
driving conditions. For more information, contact a 
dealer.
3WARNING
Using the wrong chains, or not properly 
installing chains, can damage the brake 
lines and cause a crash in which you can be 
seriously injured or killed.
