Tires and Tire Chains

The condition of the tires plays a large role in the performance of the vehicle. Moreover, to prevent adverse effects to the drive assembly, please note the following:

Tires

  • All tires must be of the same size, manufacture, brand and tread pattern. Pay particular attention when equipping snow or other types of winter tires.

  • Do not mix unevenly worn tires or tread-worn tires with normal tires.

  • Inspect tire inflation pressures at the specified periods adjust to the specified pressures.

 

Check the tire inflation pressure label attached to driver's door frame for the correct tire inflation pressure.

  • Unevenly worn tires, mismatched manufacturers, models, or brands can be different in size even if the printed size on the tire is the same. AWD functionality may be limited or potential damage to the AWD system may occur with tires of different sizes.

Tire chains

  • Install tire chains to the front tires.

  • Do not use tire chains on the rear wheels.

  • Do not drive the vehicle faster than 30 km/h (19 mph) with the tire chains installed.

  • Do not drive the vehicle with tire chains on road conditions other than snow or ice.
