SNOW TIRES AND CHAINS

WARNING: Driving too fast for conditions creates the possibility

of loss of vehicle control. Driving at very high speeds for

extended periods of time may result in damage to vehicle components.

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.

Note: The suspension insulation and bumpers will help prevent vehicle

damage. Do not remove these components from your vehicle when using

snow tires and chains.

Follow these guidelines when using snow tires and chains:

• If possible, avoid fully loading your vehicle.

• Use only SAE Class S chains.

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

wiring, brake lines or fuel lines.

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

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

the chains to prevent damage to your vehicle.

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

tire chains on dry roads.
