before installing chains.

When installing chains on your tires, carefully follow the
instructions of the chain manufacturer.
CAUTION

manufacturer’s recommended speed limit, whichever is
lower.
D Drive carefully avoiding bumps, holes, and sharp turns,
which may cause the vehicle to bounce.
D Avoid sharp turns or locked−wheel braking, as use of
chains may adversely affect vehicle handling.
