When fitting chains on your tires, carefully
follow the instructions of the chain
manufacturer.
The chain bands may scratch the wheel
covers. Remove the covers before fitting
the chains.
Fit the chains on the front tires as tightly
as possible. The use of chains on the rear
tires is not recommended. Retighten the
chains after driving 0.5~1.0 km.
Fitting new tires
It is recommended that radial tires be fitted
in complete sets. They should be fitted in
pairs with tires of the same make on each
axle. Do not mix the bias and radial tire
under any circumstances.
Tire rotation
To avoid uneven wear of tires and to
prolong tire life, inspect and rotate
periodically your tires every 5,000km
(3,000miles).
After rotating, adjust the tire pressure and
be sure to check wheel nut tightness.
When using winter tires, the tire pressures
supplied by the tire manufacturer must be
adhered to.
Winter tires should be equivalent in
size and type to the vehicle's standard
tires. Otherwise, the safety and
handling of your vehicle may be
adversely affected.
WARNING
Winter tires
If winter tires are used they must be fitted
to all 4 wheels. Do not exceed the
maximum speed specified by the tire
manufacturer.
Snow chains
Regulations regarding the use of tire chains
vary according to location or type of road,
so always check before fitting chains.
ï The use of chains may adversely
affect vehicle handling.
ï Do not exceed 50 km/h or the chain
manufacturer's recommended
speed limit, whichever is lower.
ï Drive carefully and avoid bumps,
holes and sharp turns, which may
cause the vehicle to bounce.
ï Avoid sharp turns or locked-wheel
braking.
CAUTION
