Tire Chains

Notice: Use tire chains only where legal and only

when you must. Use only SAE Class “S” type chains

that are the proper size for your tires. Install them on

the front tires and tighten them as tightly as possible

with the ends securely fastened. Drive slowly and

follow the chain manufacturer’s instructions. 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.

If a Tire Goes Flat

It’s unusual for a tire to “blowout” while you’re driving,

especially if you maintain your tires properly. If air goes

out of a tire, it’s much more likely to leak out slowly.

But if you should ever have a “blowout,” here are a few

tips about what to expect and what to do:

If a front tire fails, the ﬂat tire will create a drag that

pulls the vehicle toward that side. Take your foot off the

accelerator pedal and grip the steering wheel ﬁrmly.

Steer to maintain lane position, and then gently brake to

a stop well out of the traffic lane.

A rear blowout, particularly on a curve, acts much like a

skid and may require the same correction you’d use

in a skid. In any rear blowout, remove your foot from the

accelerator pedal. Get the vehicle under control by

steering the way you want the vehicle to go. It may be

very bumpy and noisy, but you can still steer. Gently

brake to a stop, well off the road if possible.

{CAUTION:

Lifting a vehicle and getting under it to do

maintenance or repairs is dangerous without

the appropriate safety equipment and training.

The jack provided with your vehicle is

designed only for changing a ﬂat tire. If it is

used for anything else, you or others could be

badly injured or killed if the vehicle slips off

the jack. Use the jack provided with your

vehicle only for changing a ﬂat tire.

If a tire goes ﬂat, the next part shows how to use your

jacking equipment to change a ﬂat tire safely.
