Note: Maintain correct tire pressures.
Note: The anti-lock brake system continues
to correctly operate.
Note: We recommend that you switch the
traction control system off. See Using
Traction Control (page 188).
Do not use self-tensioning snow chains.
Avoid fully loading your vehicle.
Only use SAE Class S snow chains or
cables of
0.4 in (10 mm) or smaller in
diameter.
We recommend that steel wheels of the
correct size and specification are used.
Snow chains or cables could damage alloy
wheels. TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM
(IF EQUIPPED) WARNING:
The tire pressure
monitoring system is not a substitute for
manually checking tire pressures. You
should periodically check tire pressures
using a pressure gauge. Failure to
correctly maintain tire pressures could
increase the risk of tire failure, loss of
control, vehicle rollover and personal
injury. WARNING: Do not use tire sealants
as they may damage the tire pressure
monitoring system. WARNING:
If the tire pressure
monitor sensor becomes damaged it
may not function.
