Service and Maintenance
CAUTION
If you use bias-ply tires on your
vehicle, the wheel rim flanges
could develop cracks after
many miles of driving. A
tire and/or wheel could fail
suddenly, causing a crash. Use
only radial-ply tires with the
wheels on your vehicle.
TIRE CHAINS
Before using tire chains, check
with the tire manufacturer to
make sure that tire chains are
compatible with the tires on your
vehicle.
NOTICE
It is recommended that tire
chains be used only on
P265/70R17 size tires.
Use tire chains only where legal,
and only when you must. Use
chains that are the correct size
for your tires. Install them on
the rear tires as tightly as
possible with the ends securely
fastened.
Drive slowly and follow
the chain manufacturer's
instructions.
NOTICE (Continued)
If you can hear the chains
contacting your vehicle, stop
and retighten them. If the
contact continues, slow down
until it stops. Driving too fast or
spinning the wheels with chains
on will damage your vehicle.
Spare Tire
See "Spare Tire" in Section 5 for
information.
