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 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.
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 cable chains:
• If possible, avoid fully loading your vehicle.
• Use only SAE Class S cables or equivalent.
• Use SAE Class S cables only on the front axle on vehicles equipped
with P245/60R18 tires.
• Do not use tire cables or optional traction devices with P245/50R20 or
P265/40R22 tires.
• Install cables securely, verifying that the cables do not touch any
wiring, brake lines or fuel lines.
• Drive cautiously. If you hear the cable chains rub or bang against your
vehicle, stop and retighten the cables. If this does not work, remove
the cables to prevent damage to your vehicle.
• Do not exceed 30 mph (48 km/h) with tire cables on your vehicle.
• Remove the tire cables when they are no longer needed. Do not use
tire cables on dry roads.
