11-4 In cold weather
<Vehicles other than FG models>
• On FG models, tire chains cannot be used on
both front and rear wheels.
• Make sure that tire chains are installed properly
so that they do not become loose and interfere
with other vehicle parts while the vehicle is in
motion.
• Use triple chains corresponding to tire size.
CAUTION
• Do not use chains on the front wheels on FE
models; instead, use of snow tires is recom-
mended.
• When fitting tire chains, refer to the instruc-
tions supplied with them.
• Drive at low speeds, desirably at speeds
lower than 30 km/h (19 mph), when chains
are installed on wheels.
• Driving on a dry road with chains installed
may damage the chains as well as the road
surface. Avoid doing so as far as possible.
• Make sure that the chains and their spring
bands are not excessively worn or otherwise
damaged.
• If you hear an abnormal noise while driving,
stop the vehicle in the nearest safe place and
check the tire chains.
1. Place the chains over the tires with the hook
ends of cross chains facing outward.
2. Connect the hook of inside chain , leaving
no excess links. Then, take up the slack in the
inside chain by pulling cross chains for the
inside tire outward.
NOTE:
Pull the hook section outward to the possible maxi-
mum extent.
