TIPS ON SAFE AND SMOOTH OPERATION
Before the onset of winter, make preparations for use of tire chains by fitting the tire
chains, adjusting their lengths and checking them for damage.
Using Tire Chains
CAUTION
Fit the tire chains securely without looseness. If the vehicle is driven with the
loosened tire chains, they may interfere with other components or come off,
leading to an unexpected accident.
If an abnormal sound is heard, it may indicate a possibility that a tire chain was
cut or came off partially. Immediately pull off to a safe place, and check the
fitting condition of the tire chains.
The exhaust pipe and muffler are extremely hot when the engine is running or
immediately after the vehicle is driven, so be careful not to touch them.
Be careful not to hurt yourself on the edges of the vehicle while working with the
tire chains.

ADVICE
Tire chains cannot be fitted on the front wheels. Make sure to fit the tire chains
suitable for the tire size on the rear wheels.
For triple chains, they may not be fitted depending on vehicle specifications, so
please consult the nearest Isuzu Dealer for details.
For dual tires, do not fit a single chain only on the outer tire. The chain may
interfere with other components and adversely affect driving.
The sidewalls of radial tires are prone to damage by tire chains. Be sure to use
tire chains that are designed for radial tires, or use winter tires.
When purchasing tire chains, fit them on the tires once and, if they are too long,
adjust them to suit the tires.
When the vehicle is fitted with tire chains, drive at speeds below 30 km/h (19
MPH) and avoid driving on surfaces other than snowy or frozen roads.
For fitting and handling of tire chains, refer to the instruction manual attached to
the tire chains.
