Tyre chains
Be sure that the chains are installed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
To minimise tyre and chain wear, do not continue to use tyre chains when they are no longer needed.

When driving on roads covered with snow or ice, drive at less than 30 km/h (20 mph).
-
Use the SAE "S" class or wire chains.

If you hear noise caused by chains contacting the body, retighten the chain to avoid contact with the vehicle body.

To prevent body damage, retighten the chains after driving 0.5~1.0 km (0.3~0.6 miles).

Do not use tyre chains on vehicles equipped with aluminum wheels. In unavoidable circumstance, use a wire type chain.

Use wire chains less than 12 mm (0.47 inches) to prevent damage to the chain's connection.

Fabric-type chains must be used on the vehicle with 17 inch (215/60R17) and 18 inch (215/55R18) tyres.
