TIRE CHAINS (TRACTION DEVICES)
Use of traction devices require sufficient tire-to-body
clearance. Follow these recommendations to guard
against damage.
• Traction device must be of proper size for the tire, as
recommended by the traction device manufacturer.
• Install on Front Tires Only.
• Due to limited clearance, on a 225/65R17 102h tire,
use reduced size snow chains or traction devices
with a maximum projection of 6 mm beyond the tire
profile.
WARNING!
Using tires of different size and type
(M+S, Sno
w) bet ween front and rear
axles can cause unpredictable handling.You could
lose control and have a collision.
To avoid damage to your vehicle or tires,
observe the following precautions:
• Because of restricted traction device
clearance between tires and other suspension
components, it is important that only traction
devices in good condition are used.Broken devices
can cause serious damage.Stop the vehicle imme-
diately if noise occurs that could indicate device
breakage. Remove the damaged parts of the de-
vice before further use.
• Install device as tightly as possible and then
retighten after driving about 0.8 km.
• Do not exceed 48 km/h.
• Drive cautiously and avoid severe turns and
large bumps, especially with a loaded vehicle.
• Do not drive for prolonged period on dry pave-
ment.
• Observe the traction device manufacturer’s in-
structions on the method of installation, operat-
ing speed, and conditions for use. Always use the
suggested o perating speed of the device manufac-
turer’s if it is less than 48 km/h.
• Do not use traction devices on a compact spare
tire.
