It is recommended that snow chains are car-
ried in snow regions and fitted when required
to the front wheels in accardance with the
manufacture’s instructions.
On 4WD vehicles in which the driving power
is distributed preferentially to the front
wheels, ensure that the tyre chains are fitted
on the front.
The tyres fitted to your vehicle as original
equipment allow you to fit tyre chains if they
are required. When replacing your tyres,
check with the tyre distributor or manufac-
turer if the fitting of tyre chains will be detri-
mental to the tyres being purchased.
Always follow the chain manufacturer’s
instructions when fitting the chains.

1. Lift the wiper arm off the windscreen.
CAUTION
 Observe permissible maximum speed for
your snow tyres and the legal speed limit.
NOTE
 The laws and regulations concerning snow
tyres (driving speed, required use, type, etc.)
vary. Find out and follow the laws and regu-
lations in the area you intend to drive.
 If flange nuts are used on your vehicle,
change to tapered nuts when steel wheels are
used.
Tyre chains
WARNING
 DO NOT use a jack when fitting the
chains, as in the conditions, the tyres may
slip on the icy road causing the vehicle to
slip off the jack.
CAUTION
 Choose a clear straight stretch of road where
you can pull off and still be seen while you
are fitting the chains.
 Do not fit chains before you need them. This
will wear out your tyres and the road surface.
 After driving around 100-300 metres, stop
and retighten the chains.
 Care should be taken with extremes of steer-
ing lock to prevent possible contact between
the chains and the vehicle body.
 Drive carefully and do not exceed 30 km/h.
Remember, fitting chains is not going to stop
accidents from happening.
 When tyre chains are installed, take care that
they do not damage the disc wheel or body.
 An aluminium wheel can be damaged by a
tyre chain while driving. When fitting a tyre
chain on an aluminium wheel, take care that
any part of the chain and fitting cannot be
brought into contact with the wheel.
 Remove the wheel covers before installing a
tyre chain, otherwise they may be damaged
by the tyre chain. (Refer to page 9-18.)
 When installing or removing the tyre chains,
take care that hands and other parts of your
body are not injured by the sharp edges of
the vehicle body.
 Install the chains only on the front tyres and
tighten them as tightly as possible with the
ends securely fastened.
