or stop the vehicle and turn the engine of f. The EPS system should return to normal
within 10 minutes.

Failure to do so may result in the vehicle being unable to be driven safely, and may
cause death or serious injury.
●Do not drive in excess of the speed limit specified for the tire chains being used, or 30
mph (50 km/h), whichever is lower.
