SNOW
TIRE INSTALLATION
Snow
tires
should
be
installed
on
all
wheels.
Installing
snow
tires on the rear wheels
only can lead to an
excessive
difference
in road grip capability between the front
and rear
tires
which could cause loss
of
vehicle
control.
When storing removed tires, you should
store them in a cool dry place.
Mark
the
direction of rotation and be sure
to install them in the same direction when
replacing.
&
CAUTION
•
Do
not
drive
with
the
snow
tires
incorrectly
inflated.
•
Observe
permissible
maximum
speed
for
your
snow
tires
and
the
legal
speed
limit.
TIRE CHAIN SELECTION
Use
the
tire
chains
of
correct
size.
Regulations
regarding
the
use
of
tire
chains
vary
according
to
location
or
type
of
road,
so
always
check
local
reg-
ulations
before
installing
chains.

CHAIN INSTALLATION
Install
the
chains
on
the
rear
tires
as
tightly
as
possible.
Do
not
use
tire
chains
on
the
front
tires.
Retighten
chains
after
driving
0.5-1.0
km
(1/4-1/2
mile).
When installing chains on your tires, care-
fully
follow
the
instructions of the chain
manufacturer.
If wheel covers are used, they will be
scratched
by the chain band, so remove
the
covers before putting on
the
chains.

CAUTION
•
Do
not
exceed
50
km/h
(30
mph)

recom-
mended
speed
limit,
whichever
is
lower
.

Drive
carefully
avoiding
bumps,
holes,
and
sharp
turns,
which
may
cause
the
vehicle
to
bounce.
•
Avoid
sharp
turns
or
locked-wheel
braking
as
use
of
chains
may
ad-
versely
affect
vehicle
handling.
•
When
driving
with
chains
installed,
be
sure
to
drive
carefUlly.
Slow
down
before
entering
curves
to
avoid
losing
control
of
the
vehicle.

accident
may
occur.
