Use of Security Chain Company (SCC) Super Z6 SZ143 or
Iceman Z6 IZ-643 cables or equivalent are recommended
on 225/65R17 tires.
NOTE: Do not use tire chains on a compact spare tire.
CAUTION!
To avoid damage to your vehicle or tires, observe the
following precautions:
Use chains on 215/65R16 tires only.
Because of restricted chain clearance between tires
and other suspension components, it is important
that only chains in good condition are used. Bro-
ken chains can cause serious damage. Stop the
vehicle immediately if noise occurs that could
indicate chain breakage. Remove the damaged
parts of the chain before further use.
Do not exceed 45 mph (70 km/h).
(Continued)
CAUTION! (Continued)
Drive cautiously and avoid severe turns and large
bumps, especially with a loaded vehicle.
Install chains on the front wheels as tightly as
possible and then retighten after driving about
0.5 mile (0.8 km).
Do not drive for prolonged periods of time on dry
pavement.
Observe the tire chain manufacturer’s instructions
on the method of installation, operating speed,
and conditions for use. Always use the lower
suggested operating speed of the chain manufac-
turer, if different from the speed recommended by
the vehicle manufacturer.
