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

1. If your vehicle is equipped with wheel covers remove them, otherwise the chain bands will scratch them.
2. Secure the chains on the front tires as tightly as possible. Always follow the chain manufacturer’s instructions.
3. 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.
