Note: Your vehicle may be

equipped with a dissimilar spare

wheel and tire assembly. A

dissimilar spare wheel and tire

assembly is defined as a spare
wheel and tire assembly that is
different in brand, size or
appearance from the road tires and
wheels. If you have a dissimilar
spare wheel and tire assembly it is
intended for temporary use only
and should not be used in a tire
rotation.

Note: After having your tires
rotated, inflation pressure must be

checked and adjusted to the

vehicle requirements.
Rotating your tires at the
recommended interval (as

indicated in the scheduled

maintenance information) will

help your tires wear more evenly,
providing better tire performance

and longer tire life.

Sometimes irregular tire wear can
be corrected by rotating the tires.

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 have all-weather
treads to provide traction in rain and snow.
Snow chains have not been approved for
use on your vehicle.

Consult your authorized dealer for
information on other Ford Motor Company
approved methods of traction control.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM

WARNING

The tire pressure monitoring system
is not a substitute for manually
checking tire pressure. The tire

pressure should be checked periodically
(at least monthly) using a tire gauge, see
Inflating your tires in this chapter. Failure
to properly maintain your tire pressure
could increase the risk of tire failure, loss
of control, vehicle rollover and personal
injury.
