Driving
Park the vehicle and move the shift lever to P without setting the parking brake.
The parking brake may freeze up, preventing it from being released. If necessary,
block the wheels to prevent inadvertent sliding or creeping.
Use the correct tire chain size when mounting the tire chains.
Chain size is regulated for each tire size.

Cross chain

Regulations regarding the use of tire chains vary depending on location and type
of road. Always check local regulations before installing chains.
