Tire chains (Auto sock)
ORG3EV061033
Since the sidewalls of radial tires are
thinner, they can be damaged by
mounting some types of snow chains on
them. Therefore, the use of snow tires is
recommended instead of snow chains.
Do not mount tire chains on vehicle
equipped with aluminum wheels;
snow chains may cause damage to the
wheels. If snow chains must be used, use
AutoSock (fabric snow chain). Damage
to your vehicle caused by improper snow
chain use is not covered by your vehicle
manufacturer’s warranty.
When using tire chains, install tire chains
only on the rear tires.
WARNING
The use of AutoSock (fabric snow chain)
may adversely affect vehicle handling:
ś Drive less than 20 mph (30 km/h)
or the chain manufacturer’s
recommended speed limit,
whichever is lower.
ś Drive carefully and avoid bumps,
holes, sharp turns, and other road
hazards, which may cause the
vehicle to bounce.
ś Avoid sharp turns or locked wheel
braking.
Information
ś Install AutoSock (fabric snow chain)
only in pairs and on the rear tires.
It should be noted that installing
AutoSock (fabric snow chain) on the
tires will provide a greater driving
force, but will not prevent side skids.
ś Do not install studded tires without
first checking local and municipal
regulations for possible restrictions
against their use.
