TIRE CHAIN PRECAUTIONS
All 1998 models have restricted wheel clearances. Use only tire chains known as cable chains, which meet SAE class "S" clearance specifications.
Link-type chains and other traction devices do not meet these specifications and are not recommended.
! CAUTION
^
Do not use chains on the compact spare wheel of any vehicle. The wheel may be damaged or cause the tire to come off the wheel.
^
Eclipse GS, GS-T and GSX models cannot use tire chains.
^
Tire chains cannot be used on any 3000GT with factory-equipment wheels and tires. However, on base 3000GT models, if all four original
wheels and tires are replaced with 15X6JJ steel wheels and 205/65R15 tires, chains may be used only on the front wheels.
Observe the following tire chain guidelines:
^
Use tire chains only when necessary.
^
Be sure the chains are the proper size for the tires.
^
Remove wheel covers before installing the chains.
^
Tighten chains as tightly as possible.
^
Drive under 30 mph.
^
If the chains strike the vehicle body or chassis, stop the vehicle immediately and tighten them.
NOTE TO CALIFORNIA DEALERS: Consult your legal counsel for advice regarding customer disclosure statement for vehicles that cannot use tire
chains.
