Only specially trained persons should
mount self supporting run flat tires.
If self supporting run flat tires are
mounted, the vehicle must be equipped
with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System.
After a low pressure warning has been
displayed, do not exceed 50 mph
(80 km/h).
Avoid severe cornering and hard braking,
and minimize the distance traveled before
replacing the self supporting run flat tire.
Self supporting run flat tires cannot be
repaired. They must be replaced if
damaged or punctured.

Check local regulations regarding the use
of snow chains before installing.
Always follow the chain manufacturer’s
installation instructions carefully. Install
chains as tightly as possible and retighten
periodically.
Never exceed the chain manufacturer’s
specified maximum speed limit. (Under no
circumstances should you exceed 31 mph
(50 km/h)).
Avoid bumps, holes or sharp turns when
driving with snow chains.
The handling of the vehicle can be
adversely affected when driving with
chains. Avoid fast or sharp turns as well as
locked wheel braking.
