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” tire cables. See

your authorized dealer 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 30 mph (48 km/h) with tire cables or chains on your

vehicle.

Consult your authorized dealer for information on other Ford Motor

Company approved methods of traction control.
