skidding.
Use tire chains, snow tires, or all season tires when necessary or according to the
law.
When mounting, refer to the following points.1Winter Tires
NOTICE
Traction devices that are the wrong size or improperly
installed can damage your vehicle’s brake lines,
suspension, body, and wheels. Stop driving if they are
hitting any part of the vehicle.
When tire chains are mounted, follow the chain
manufacturer’s instructi ons regarding vehicle
operational limits.
If your vehicle is equipp ed with summer, high grip
*1
or ultra high performance*2 tires, be aware that these
tires are not designed for winter driving conditions.
For more information, contact a dealer.

uuChecking and Maintaining Tires uWinter Tires
Maintenance
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:
*1: On 245/30ZR20 tires, you cannot install any type of tire chains. If you have to use
tire chains, replace the original tires with the 235/40R18 tires.
• 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.

Maintenance
Cold Weather Driving
Summer Only tires and High Grip tires*1 or Ultra High Performance (UHP) tires*2 are
very sensitive to ambient temperatures and are designed to be used at temperatures
above 45°F (7°C). If the vehicle is operat ed with Summer Only tires or UHP tires at
temperatures below 45°F (7°C), the tires will provide decreasing amounts of grip
and other performance attributes. If the vehi cle is operated with Summer Only tires
or UHP tires at temperatures below 20°F (–7°C)
*1 or –4°F (–20°C)*2, the tire tread
may lose their elasticity and become brittl e, resulting in permanent damage to the
tread. A damaged tire may fail during use. Therefore, if you operate the vehicle
when ambient temperatures are below 45°F (7°C), we recommend that you install
other tires (e.g., mud+snow, winter) that are designed to provide appropriate
performance attributes under the anticipated conditions.

3WARNING
Use of Summer Only tires or Ultra High
Performance tires at temperatures below
45°F (7°C) may lead to a loss of
performance and control, which could
result in a crash, se rious injury or death.
