Replacing the tires

Replace the tires when the wear

band is visible through the tire

treads.

Failure to follow these precautions may adversely affect the

handling of the vehicle and make it easier to lose control and roll

over.

Tires that are larger or smaller than your vehicle’s original tires may also

affect the accuracy of your speedometer.

SNOW TIRES AND CHAINS

Snow tires must be the same size and grade as the tires you

currently have on your vehicle.

The tires on your vehicle have all weather treads to provide traction in

rain and snow. However, in some climates, you may need to use snow

tires and chains. If you need to use snow tires and chains, you must

install steel wheels of the same size and specifications as those originally

installed.

Follow these guidelines when using snow tires and chains:

• Use only SAE Class S chains.

• Install chains securely, verifying that the chains do not touch any

wiring, brake lines or fuel lines.

• Drive cautiously. If you hear the chains rub or bang against your

vehicle, stop and re-tighten the chains. If this does not work, remove

the chains to prevent damage to your vehicle.

• If possible, avoid fully loading your vehicle.
