CAUTION!
Replacing original tires with tires of a differ-
ent size may result in false speedometer and
odometer readings.
TIRE CHAINS (TRACTION
DEVICES)
Use of traction devices require sufficient tire-to-
body clearance. Follow these recommenda-
tions to guard against damage.
• Traction device must be of proper size for the
tire, as recommended by the traction device
manufacturer.
• Install on Rear Tires Only.
• Due to limited clearance, use reduced size
snow chains or traction devices with a maxi-
mum projection of 6 mm beyond the tire
profile on P235/55R18 99V tires.
WARNING!
Using tires of different size and type (M+S,
Snow) between front and rear axles can
cause unpredictable handling. You could
lose control and have a collision.
CAUTION!
To avoid damage to your vehicle or tires,
observe the following precautions:
• Because of restricted traction device clear-
ance between tires and other suspension
components, it is important that only trac-
tion devices in good condition are used.
Broken devices can cause serious dam-
age. Stop the vehicle immediately if noise
occurs that could indicate device break-
age. Remove the damaged parts of the
device before further use.
• Install device as tightly as possible and
then retighten after driving about ½ mile
(0.8 km).

CAUTION!
(Continued)
• Do not exceed 30 mph (48 km/h).
• Drive cautiously and avoid severe turns
and large bumps, especially with a loaded
vehicle.
• Do not drive for a prolonged period on dry
pavement.
• Observe the traction device manufactur-
er’s instructions on the method of installa-
tion, operating speed, and conditions for
use. Always use the suggested operating
speed of the device manufacturer’s if it is
less than 30 mph (48 km/h).
• Do not use traction devices on a compact
spare tire.
