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 only

cable chains are used with steel wheels (of the same size and

specifications) as chains may chip aluminum wheels.

Follow these guidelines when using snow tires and cable chains:

• Install cable chains only on the front wheels.

• Use only cable chains on 17 inch wheels with P235/65R17 tires.

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

18 inch, 20 inch or 22 inch wheels and tires.

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

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

remove the cable chains to prevent damage to your vehicle.

• If possible, avoid fully loading your vehicle.

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

use tire cable 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 cable chains.
