Toyota Yaris: Winter Driving / Tire Chains
Check local regulations before using tire chains.
Install the chains on the front tires only.
Do not use chains on the rear tires.
Please consult your Toyota dealer.
Installing the chains
- If your vehicle is equipped with wheel covers remove them, otherwise the
chain bands will scratch them.
- Secure the chains on the front tires as tightly as possible.
Always follow the chain manufacturer’s instructions.
- Retighten the chains after driving 1/4—1/2 mile (1/2—1 km).
If your vehicle is equipped with the tire pressure monitoring system, the
system may not function correctly when using tire chains.
WARNING
Driving with tire chains
- Chains may affect handling.
- Do not go faster than 30 mph (50 km/h) or the chain manufacturer’s
recommended limit, whichever is lower.
- Drive carefully and avoid bumps, holes, and sharp turns.
- Avoid locked-wheel braking.
NOTICE
- Do not use chains on a temporary spare tire; it may result in
damage to the
vehicle and to the tire.
- Do not use chains on roads that are free of snow or ice. The tires
and
chains could be damaged.
- Chains may scratch or chip aluminum wheels.
Use snow tires on all four wheels
Do not go faster than 75 mph (120 km/h) while driving with snow
tires. Inflate snow tires 30 kPa (0.3 kgf/cm2, 4.3 psi) more than recommended on
the tire pressure label (driver’s door frame), but
never more than the maximum cold-tire pressure shown on the
tires...
WARNING
Dry off brakes that have become wet by driving slowly, releasing the
accelerator pedal and lightly applying the brakes several times until
the brake performance returns to normal
Driving with wet brakes is dangerous...
