Mount snow chains on your car
when warranted by driving condi-
tions or required by local laws. Make
sure the chains are the correct size
for your tires. Install them only on
the front tires.
Use only SAE class ‘‘S’’ chains. Only
certain brands of chains will fit your
Acura without coming in contact
with the body or causing mechanical
damage. Before buying any types of
chains, you should consult with your
Acura dealer about the designs and
brands that will work on your Acura.

Acura, make sure they are radial
tires of the same size and load range
as the original tires. Mount snow

provided by snow tires on dry roads
may not be as high as your car’s
original equipment tires. You should

When installing chains, follow the
manufacturer’s instructions and
mount them as tightly as you can.
Drive slowly with chains installed. If
you hear them contacting the body
or chassis, stop and investigate.
Make sure the chains are installed
tightly, and that they are not
contacting the brake lines or
suspension. Remove the chains as
