under-inflated, carefully drive the vehicle to the nearest location where
air can be added to the tires. Inflate all the tires to the recommended
inflation pressure.
SNOW TIRES AND CHAINS
The original equipment tires on your vehicle have an all-weather tread
design to provide traction, handling, and braking performance in
year-round driving. You may install ⬙snow⬙ tires for improved traction
when driving in areas with sustained periods of snow or icy driving
conditions.
WARNING: If you choose to install snow tires on your vehicle,
they must be the same size, construction, and load range as the
original tires listed on the tire placard, and they must be installed on
all four wheels. Mixing tires of different size or construction on your
vehicle can adversely affect your vehicle’s handling and braking, and
may lead to loss of vehicle control.
WARNING: Do not use snow chains or cables on this vehicle as
they may cause damage to your vehicle which may lead to loss
of vehicle control.
