If your vehicle is equipped with

dual rear wheels it is

recommended that the front and

rear tires (in pairs) be rotated only

side to side. We do not
recommend splitting up the dual
rear wheels. Rotate them side to
side as a set. After tire rotation,
inflation pressures must be
adjusted for the tires new
positions in accordance with
vehicle requirements.

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.

Note: Do not use snow chains on vehicles
with 20 inch wheels and tires.

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 cables. If you need
to use cables, it is recommended that steel
wheels (of the same size and
specifications) be used, as cables may chip
aluminum wheels.

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 chains:

If possible, avoid fully loading your
vehicle

Use only SAE Class S chains.

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.

If you have any questions regarding snow
chains or cables, please contact your
authorized dealer.

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.
