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.

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.

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 chains. Use chains on the tires only in an emergency or if the

law requires them.

Follow these guidelines when using snow tires and chains:

• If possible, avoid fully loading your vehicle.

• Chains may damage aluminum wheels.

• Use SAE Class S chains with 195/65R15 or 215/55R16 tires only; do

not use tire chains with any other size tires.

• 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.
