The Tire Pressure Monitoring System is NOT a substitute for

manually checking tire pressure. The tire pressure should be

checked periodically (at least monthly) using a tire gauge, see

Inspecting and inflating your tires in this chapter. Failure to

properly maintain your tire pressure could increase the risk of tire

failure, loss of control, vehicle rollover and personal injury.

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 snow tires and chains, it is

recommended that steel wheels are used of the same size and

specifications as those originally installed.

Follow these guidelines when using snow tires and chains:

• Do not use tire chains on aluminum wheels. Chains may chip the

wheels.

• 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.

• Remove the tire chains when they are no longer needed. Do not use

tire chains on dry roads.

• The suspension insulation and bumpers will help prevent vehicle

damage. Do not remove these components from your vehicle when

using snow tires and chains.
