CAUTION! (Continued)
Because of limited 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 vehicle damage. Stop
the vehicle immediately if noise occurs that could
suggest chain breakage. Remove the damaged
parts of the chain before further use.
Install chains as tightly as possible and then
retighten after driving about 1/2 mile (0.8 km).
Do not exceed 45 mph (72 km/h).
Drive cautiously and avoid severe turns and large
bumps, especially with a loaded vehicle.
Do not install tire chains on front wheels of
vehicles.
Do not drive for a prolonged period on dry pave-
ment.

CAUTION! (Continued)
Observe the tire chain manufacturer’s instructions
on method of installation, operating speed, and
conditions for usage. Always use the lower sug-
gested operating speed of the chain manufacturer
if different than the speed recommended by the
manufacturer.
These cautions apply to all chain traction devices, includ-
ing link and cable (radial) chains.
Tire chain use is permitted only on the rear tires of your
vehicle.
NOTE: The use of class “S” chains is permitted on your
vehicle with P245/70R16 tires.
