Summer Tires
Your Ford vehicle may be equipped
with summer tires to provide superior
performance on wet and dry roads.
Summer tires do not have the Mud
and Snow (M+S or M/S) tire traction
rating on the tire side wall. Since
summer tires do not have the same
traction performance as All-season or
Snow tires, Ford does not recommend
using summer tires when
temperatures drop to approximately
40°F (5°C) or below (depending on tire
wear and environmental conditions)
or in snow and ice conditions. Like any
tire, summer tire performance is
affected by tire wear and
environmental conditions. If you must
drive in those conditions, Ford
recommends using Mud and Snow
(M+S, M/S), All-season or Snow tires.
USING SNOW CHAINS
WARNINGS
If you choose to install snow tires on
your vehicle, they must be the same
size, construction, and load range as the
original tires listed on the tire placard, and
they must be installed on all four wheels.
Mixing tires of different size or construction
on your vehicle can adversely affect your
vehicle's handling and braking, and may
lead to loss of vehicle control.
Do not use snow chains or cables
on this vehicle as they may cause
damage to your vehicle which may lead
to loss of vehicle control.
Snow chains have not been approved for
use on your vehicle.
The original equipment tires on your
vehicle may have an all-weather tread
design to provide traction, handling, and
braking performance in year-round driving.
You may install snow tires for improved
traction when driving in areas with
sustained periods of snow or icy driving
conditions.
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.)
