SNOW TIRES AND CHAINS

Driving too fast for conditions creates the possibility of loss of

vehicle control. Driving at very high speeds for extended periods

of time may result in damage to vehicle components.

Snow tires must be the same size, load index, speed rating as

those originally provided by Ford. Use of any tire or wheel not

recommended by Ford can affect the safety and performance of your

vehicle, which could result in an increased risk of loss of vehicle

control, vehicle rollover, personal injury and death. Additionally, the

use of non-recommended tires and wheels could cause steering,

suspension, axle or transfer case/power transfer unit failure.

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

rain and snow. However, in some climates, you may need to use snow

tires and chains. If you need to use chains, it is recommended that steel

wheels (of the same size and specifications) be used, as chains may chip

aluminum wheels.

Follow these guidelines when using snow tires and chains:

• Use only SAE Class S chains.

• Install chains securely, verifying that the chains do not touch any

wiring, brake lines or fuel lines.

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

vehicle, stop and re-tighten the chains. If this does not work, remove

the chains to prevent damage to your vehicle.

• If possible, avoid fully loading your vehicle.

• Remove the tire chains when they are no longer needed. Do not use

tire chains on dry roads.

• The suspension insulation and bumpers will help prevent vehicle

damage. Do not remove these components from your vehicle when

using snow tires and chains.
