I050A01TB-GAT TIRE CHAINS Tire chains, if necessary should be installed on the front wheels. Be sure that the chains are the proper size andthat they are installed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. To minimize tire and chain wear, donot continue to use tire chains when they are no longer needed.
I040A01S-GAT SNOW TIRES If you equip your car with snow tires, they should be the same size and havethe same load capacity as the original tires. Snow tires should be installed on all four wheels; otherwise, poor han-dling may result. Snow tires should carry 28 kPa (4 psi) more air pressure than the pressurerecommended for the standard tires on the tire label on, or up to the maxi- mum pressure shown on the tiresidewall whichever is less. Do not drive faster than 120 km/h (75 mph) when your car is equipped withsnow tires.
!WARNING:
o When driving on roads covered with snow or ice, drive at less than 30 km/h (20 mph).
o Use the SAE "S" class or wire &
plastic chains.
o Don't use the tire chains in 185/ 55R 15 tire to prevent body dam-age.
o If you have noise caused by chaws contacting the body, re-tighten the chain to avoid contactwith the vehicle body.
o Retighten the chains to prevent
from a body damage after driving0.5 ~ 1 km with equipping chains.

WARNING:
o Driving on worn-out tires is dan- gerous! Worn-out tires can cause
loss of braking effectiveness, steering control and traction. When replacing tires, never mixradial and bias-ply tires on the same car. If you replace radial tires with bias-ply tires, they mustbe installed in sets of four.
o Using tires and wheels of other
than the recommended sizes maycause unusual handling charac- teristics that may cause death, serious injury or property dam-age.
o Tires degrade over time, even when
they are not being used. Regard-less of the remaining tread, it is recommended that tires generally be replaced after six (6) years ofnormal service. Heat caused by hot climates or frequent high load- ing conditions can accelerate theaging process. Failure to follow this warning can result in sudden tire failure, which could lead to aloss of control and an accident involving serious injury or death.
!o The ABS works by comparing thespeed of the wheels. Tire size can affect wheel speed. When replac- ing tires, all 4 tires must use the same size originally supplied withthe vehicle. Using tires of a different size can cause the ABS (Anti-lock Brake System) and ESP(ElectronicStability Program) to work irregu- larly.
