Each day before you drive, check

your tires. If one looks lower than

the others, use a tire gauge to check

pressure of all tires, and adjust if

required. Check tire pressure with a

tire gauge every few weeks

(including spare). Safe operation

requires tires that are neither

underinflated nor overloaded.

Periodically inspect the tire treads and remove stones, nails, glass or

other objects that may be wedged in the tread grooves. Check for holes

or cuts that may permit air leakage from the tire and make necessary

repairs.

Inspect the tire side walls for cuts, bruises and other damage. If internal

damage to the tire is suspected, have the tire demounted and inspected

in case it needs to be repaired or replaced.

Maintenance and Modifications

The suspension and steering systems on your vehicle have been designed

and tested to provide both reliable and reasonably predictable

performance whether loaded or empty and durable load carrying

capability. For this reason, Ford strongly recommends that you do not

make modifications such as adding or removing parts (such as lift kits or

stabilizer bars) or by using replacement parts not equivalent to the

original factory equipment.

Any modifications to a vehicle that raise the center of gravity can make

it more likely the vehicle will roll over as a result of a loss of control.

Ford recommends that caution be used with any vehicle equipped with a

high load or device (such as ladder racks or pickup box cover).

Failure to maintain your vehicle properly may void the warranty, increase

your repair cost, reduce vehicle performance and operational capabilities

and adversely affect driver and passenger safety. Frequent inspection of

vehicle chassis components is recommended if the vehicle is subjected to

heavy off-road usage.

unknown. Traction or brake capability may be limited and if the ignition
