We recommend that you use winter orall-season tires carrying this symbol whenthe temperature is 45°F (7°C) or lower, orin snow and ice conditions.
When using winter tires, install them on allwheels and inflate them to therecommended tire pressures listed on thetire label. See Locating the SafetyCompliance Certification Labels (page291).
WARNING: Wheels and tires mustbe the same size, load index and speedrating as those originally fitted on thevehicle. Use of any other tire or wheelcan affect the safety and performanceof your vehicle. Additionally, the use ofnon-recommended tires and wheels cancause steering, suspension, axle, transfercase or power transfer unit failure.Follow the recommended tire inflationpressures found on the SafetyCompliance Certification label, or theTire Label on the B-Pillar or the edge ofthe driver door. Failure to follow thisinstruction could result in loss of vehiclecontrol, vehicle rollover, or personal injuryor death.
USING SNOW CHAINS

•Purchase chains or cables from amanufacturer that clearly labels bodyto tire dimension restrictions.
•Install snow chains or cables in pairson the rear tires only.
•When driving with snow chains do notexceed 30 mph (50 km/h) or themaximum speed recommended by thechain manufacturer, whichever is less.
•Install cables securely, verifying thatthe cables do not touch any wiring orbrake lines.
•Drive cautiously. If you hear the cablesrub or bang against the vehicle, stopand retighten them. If this does notwork, remove the cables to preventvehicle damage.
