Regulations regarding the use of tire
chains vary depending on location and
type of road. Always check local regu-
lations before installing chains.
■ Tire chain installation
Observe the following precautions when
installing and removing chains:
● Install and remove tire chains in a safe
location.
● Install tire chains on the rear tires. Do not
install tire chains on the front tires.
● Install tire chains on the rear tires as
tightly as possible. Retighten chains after
driving 1/4⎯1/2 mile (0.5⎯1.0 km).
● Install tire chains following the instruc-
tions provided with the tire chains.
To enable the windshield wipers to be
lifted when heavy snow or icy condi-
tions are expected, change the rest
position of the windshield wipers from
the retracted position below the hood
to the service position using the wiper
lever. (→P.193)
