SNOW TIRES AND CHAINS

WARNING: 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⬙ cables or equivalent on the front axle for

P205/60R16 equipped vehicles. SAE class “S” chains or other

conventional link chains may cause damage to the vehicles wheel

house and/or body.

• Do not install tire chains, cables, or optional traction devices on the

rear tires. This could cause damage to the vehicle’s wheel house or

body.

• Do not use tire chains, cables, or optional traction devices with

optional P225/50R17 or P225/45R18 tires.

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

wiring, brake lines or fuel lines.

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

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

the cables to prevent damage to your vehicle.

• If possible, avoid fully loading your vehicle.

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

tire cables 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.

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