Tire explosions can cause death, personal injury or property

damage. Do not allow anyone to stand near, directly ahead or

behind the spinning tire.

Never spin the tires in excess of the 55 km/h (35 mph) point

indicated on the speedometer.

Highway hazards

No matter how carefully you drive there’s always the possibility that you

may eventually have a flat tire on the highway. Drive slowly to the

closest safe area out of traffic. This may further damage the flat tire, but

your safety is more important.

If you feel a sudden vibration or ride disturbance while driving, or you

suspect your tire or vehicle has been damaged, immediately reduce your

speed. Drive with caution until you can safely pull off the road. Stop and

inspect the tire for damage. If the tire is under-inflated or damaged,

deflate it, remove wheel and replace it with your spare tire and wheel. If

you cannot detect a cause, have the vehicle towed to the nearest repair

facility or tire dealer to have the vehicle inspected.

SNOW TIRES AND CHAINS

Driving too fast for conditions creates the possibility of loss of

vehicle control. Driving at very high speeds for extended periods

of time may result in damage to vehicle components.

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 chains, it is recommended that steel

wheels (of the same size and specifications) be used as chains may chip

aluminum wheels.

Follow these guidelines when using snow tires and chains:

• Use only cable type SAE Class “S” chains. Conventional link or other

type chains may cause damage to your vehicle’s wheelhouse and/or

underbody.

• These cable type chains should only be applied to the front wheels.
