USING SNOW CHAINS
WARNING: Do not exceed 30 mph(50 km/h). Failure to follow this instructioncould result in the loss of control of yourvehicle, personal injury or death.
WARNING: Do not use snow chainson snow-free roads.
WARNING: Only fit snow chains tospecified tires.
WARNING: If your vehicle is fittedwith wheel trims, remove them beforefitting snow chains.
WARNING: Wheels and tires mustbe the same size, load index and speedrating as those originally fitted on thevehicle. Use of any other tire or wheel canaffect the safety and performance of yourvehicle. Additionally, the use ofnon-recommended tires and wheels cancause steering, suspension, axle, transfercase or power transfer unit failure. Follow
the recommended tire inflation pressuresfound on the Safety ComplianceCertification label, or the Tire Label on theB-Pillar or the edge of the driver door.Failure to follow this instruction could resultin loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover,or personal injury or death.
WARNING: If you are driving inslippery conditions that require tire chainsor cables, then it is critical that you drivecautiously. Keep speeds down, allow forlonger stopping distances and avoidaggressive steering to reduce the chancesof a loss of vehicle control which can leadto serious injury or death. If the rear endof your vehicle slides while cornering, steerin the direction of the slide until you regaincontrol of your vehicle.
Only use snow chains on the front wheels.Install snow chains in pairs. Do not useself-tensioning snow chains.
Only use snow chains on the followingspecified tire size:
•235/60R18 all season tires.
•Only use ultra low profile snow chainsthat are 10 mm or less.
We recommend you use steel wheels of thesame size and specification if snow chainsare required because chains may chipaluminum wheels.
Follow these guidelines when using snowtires and traction devices:
•If possible, avoid fully loading yourvehicle.
•Purchase snow chains from amanufacturer that clearly labels body totire dimension restrictions.
•When driving with snow chains do notexceed 30 mph (50 km/h) or themaximum speed recommended by thechain manufacturer, whichever is less.
•Drive cautiously. If you hear the snowchains rub or bang against the vehicle,stop and tighten them. If this does notwork, remove the snow chains to preventvehicle damage.

When the tread is worn down to onesixteenth of an inch (2 mm), tires mustbe replaced to help prevent your vehiclefrom skidding and hydroplaning. Built-intreadwear indicators, or wear bars,which look like narrow strips of smoothrubber across the tread will appear onthe tire when the tread is worn down toone sixteenth of an inch (2 mm).
When the tire tread wears down to thesame height as these wear bars, the tireis worn out and must be replaced.
The tires should also be balancedperiodically. An unbalanced tire andwheel assembly may result in irregulartire wear.
Periodically inspect the tire treads foruneven or excessive wear and remove
objects such as stones, nails or glassthat may be wedged in the treadgrooves.
INSPECTING THE TIRE FOR
DAMAGE
Inspect the tire sidewalls for cracking,cuts, bruises and other signs of damageor excessive wear. If internal damage tothe tire is suspected, have the tiredismounted and inspected in case itneeds to be repaired or replaced. Foryour safety, tires that are damaged orshow signs of excessive wear shouldnot be used because they are morelikely to blow out or fail.
Periodically inspect the tire treads andsidewalls for damage, such as bulges inthe tread or sidewalls, cracks in thetread groove and separation in the treador sidewall. If damage is observed orsuspected, have the tire inspected by atire professional.
Safety Practices
WARNING: If your vehicle isstuck in snow, mud or sand, do notrapidly spin the tires; spinning the tirescan tear the tire and cause anexplosion. A tire can explode in as littleas three to five seconds.
WARNING: Do not spin thewheels at over 34 mph (55 km/h). Thetires may fail and injure a passengeror bystander.
Highway Hazards
No matter how carefully you drive, thereis always the possibility that you could
eventually have a flat tire on thehighway. Drive slowly to the closest safearea out of traffic. This could furtherdamage the flat tire, but your safety ismore important.

If you feel a sudden vibration or ridedisturbance while driving, or you suspectyour tire or vehicle has been damaged,immediately reduce your speed. Drivewith caution until you can safely pull offthe road. Stop and inspect the tires fordamage. If a tire is under-inflated ordamaged, deflate it, remove the wheeland replace it with your spare tire andwheel. If you cannot detect a cause,have the vehicle towed to the nearestrepair facility or tire dealer to have thevehicle inspected.
Tire and Wheel Alignment
A bad jolt from hitting a curb or potholecan cause the front end of your vehicleto become misaligned or cause damageto your tires. If your vehicle seems topull to one side when you are driving,the wheels could be out of alignment.Have an authorized dealer check thewheel alignment periodically.
Wheel misalignment in the front or therear can cause uneven and rapidtreadwear of your tires and should becorrected by an authorized dealer.
INSPECTING THE WHEEL VALVE
STEMS
Check the valve stems for holes, cracks,or cuts that could permit air leakage.
TIRE ROTATION
WARNING: If the tire label showsdifferent tire pressures for the front andrear tires and the vehicle has a tirepressure monitoring system, then you needto update the settings for the systemsensors. Always perform the system resetprocedure after tire rotation. If you do notreset the system, it may not provide a lowtire pressure warning when necessary.
Rotating your tires at the recommendedinterval will help your tires wear more evenly,providing better tire performance and longertire life.
Note:If your tires show any uneven wearhave the alignment checked by anauthorized dealer before rotating tires.
Note:If you have a dissimilar spare wheeland tire assembly, it is intended fortemporary use only and should not be usedin a tire rotation.
Note:After having your tires rotated, inflationpressure must be checked and adjusted tothe vehicle requirements.
