Follow these guidelines when using snow tires and chains:
• If possible, avoid fully loading your vehicle.
• Use only cable type chains or chains offered by Ford as an accessory

or equivalent. Other conventional link type chains may contact and
cause damage to the vehicle’s wheel house and/or body.

• Do not install chains on the front wheels as this may interfere with

suspension components.

• Chains are not recommended for use on the P275/55R20 tire.
• Install chains securely, verifying that the chains do not touch any

wiring, brake lines or fuel lines.

• Do not exceed 30 mph (48 km/h) with tire chains on your vehicle.
• 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.

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.

Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked
monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure
recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle

placard or tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of a
different size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire
inflation pressure label, you should determine the proper tire inflation
pressure for those tires.)
