USING SNOW TIRES AND TRACTION DEVICES

Snow tires must be the same size and grade as the tires you

currently have on your vehicle.

The tires on your vehicle have all-weather treads to provide traction in

rain and snow. However, in some climates, using snow tires or traction

devices may be necessary. Ford offers tire cables as a Ford approved

accessory and recommends use of these or SAE class “S”. See your

dealer or qualified service technician for more information on tire cables

for your vehicle.

Follow these guidelines when using snow tires and traction devices:

• Cables or chains should only be used on the rear wheels.

• Install cables or chains securely, verifying that the cables or chains do

not touch any wiring, brake lines or fuel lines.

• Drive cautiously. If you hear the cables or chains rub or bang against

the vehicle, stop and retighten them. If this does not work, remove the

cables or chains to prevent vehicle damage.

• Avoid overloading your vehicle.

• Remove the cables or chains when they are no longer needed.

• Do not use cables or chains on dry roads.

• Do not exceed 48 km/h (30 mph) with tire cables or chains on your

vehicle.

Consult your dealer for information on other Ford approved methods of

traction control.

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT AUTOMOTIVE FUELS

Important safety precautions

Do not overfill the fuel tank. The pressure in an overfilled tank

may cause leakage and lead to fuel spray and fire.

The fuel system may be under pressure. If the fuel filler cap is

venting vapor or if you hear a hissing sound, wait until it stops

before completely removing the fuel filler cap. Otherwise, fuel may

spray out and injure you or others.
