SNOW TIRES AND CABLES

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 cables. If you need to use cables, it is recommended that steel

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

aluminum wheels.

Follow these guidelines when using snow tires and traction devices:

• If possible, avoid fully loading your vehicle.

• SAE Class S cables or chains should ONLY be used on the front axle

for either P235/70R16 or P225/65R17 tires.

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

wiring, brake lines or fuel lines.

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

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

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

cables to prevent vehicle damage.

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

on dry roads.

Consult your authorized dealer for information on other Ford Motor

Company approved methods of traction control.
