10-4 In cold weather
• 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; snow
tires are recommended instead.
• When fitting tire chains, see the manufac-
turer’s instructions.
• With chains installed, drive at low speed,
less than 20 mph (32 km/h).
• Driving on a dry road with chains installed
may damage the chains and the road sur-
face. Remove your chains as soon as possi-
ble after you come back on dry road.
• 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 the cross chains facing outward.
2. Connect each hook to the inside chain ,
leaving no excess links. Then, to take up the
slack in the inside chains, pull the cross chains
for the inside tire outward until tight.
NOTE:
Pull the hook section outward to the maximum
extent possible.
