How Temperature Affects Your Tire

Pressure

The tire pressure monitoring system

monitors tire pressure in each pneumatic

tire. While driving in a normal manner, a

typical passenger tire inflation pressure

may increase about 2 to 4 psi (14 to 28

kPa) from a cold start situation. If the

vehicle is stationary overnight with the

outside temperature significantly lower

than the daytime temperature, the tire

pressure may decrease about 3 psi (21

kPa) for a drop of 30°F (17°C) in ambient

temperature. This lower pressure value

may be detected by the tire pressure

monitoring system as being significantly

lower than the recommended inflation

pressure and activate the system warning

light for low tire pressure. If the low tire

pressure warning light is on, visually check

each tire to verify that no tire is flat. If one

or more tires are flat, repair as necessary.

Check the air pressure in the road tires. If

any tire is under-inflated, carefully drive

the vehicle to the nearest location where

air can be added to the tires. Inflate all the

tires to the recommended inflation

pressure.

USING SNOW 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, transfer

case or power transfer unit failure.

The tires on your vehicle may 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

• Purchase chains or cables from a

manufacturer that clearly labels body

to tire dimension restrictions.

• Use no larger than 15 mm cables or

chains ONLY on front axle with

215/60R16 tires. Do not use chains or

cables on any other size tires.

• The snow chains or cables must be

mounted in pairs on the front axle.

• When driving with tire cables do not

exceed 30 mph (48 km/h) or the

maximum speed recommended by the

chain manufacturer, whichever is less.

• 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.

If you have any questions regarding snow

chains or cables, please contact your

authorized dealer.
