To avoid damage to your vehicle, tires or chains,
observe the following precautions:
• Because of limited chain clearance between tires and
other suspension components, it is important that
only chains in good condition are used. Broken
chains can cause serious vehicle damage. Stop the
vehicle immediately if noise occurs that could
suggest chain breakage. Remove the damaged parts
of the chain before further use.
• Install chains as tightly as possible and then
retighten after driving about 1/2 mile (0.8 km).
• Do not exceed 30 mph (50 km/h).
• Drive cautiously and avoid severe turns and large
bumps, especially with a loaded vehicle.
• Do not install tire chains on front wheels.
• Do not drive for a prolonged period on dry
pavement.
• Observe the tire chain manufacturer’s instructions
on method of installation, operating speed, and
conditions for usage. Always use the lower
suggested operating speed of the chain
manufacturer if different than the speed
recommended by the manufacturer.
