FORD 2004 Escape v.2 - Manual (Page 234)

Follow these guidelines when using snow tires and traction devices:
• SAE class “S” cable should be used only on front axle for P235/70R16
tires. With P225/70R15 and P215/70R16 tires, SAE class “S” cables can
be used on both the front and rear wheels.
• Install cables or chains securely, verifying that the cables or chains do
not touch any wiring, brake lines or fuel lines.
• Drive cautiously. If you hear the cables or chains rub or bang against
the vehicle, stop and retighten them. If this does not work, remove the
cables or chains to prevent vehicle damage.
• Avoid overloading your vehicle.
• Remove the cables or chains when they are no longer needed.
• Do not use cables or chains on dry roads.
• Do not exceed 48 km/h (30 mph) with tire cables or chains on your
vehicle.
Consult your dealer for information on other Ford approved methods of
traction control.
