Wheels, tires, brakes 04-3
4.7 Spare tire
A spare tire is not included in the scope of delivery.
4.6 Snow chains
Never drive faster than 50 km/h.
Do not use snow chains on snow-free roads.
Ornamental hub caps must be removed before putting on
snow chains.
4.6.1 Models with front-wheel drive
If you wish to use snow chains, the wheels on the front axle
must use tires size 195/75 R 16 C (M+S) on steel rims 5.5 J x
16 H2, ET 50. You may leave the tires size 215/75 R 16 C on
the rear axle. This tire mix is covered by Ford's basic approval
and, therefore, does not require extra permission.
Tires size 195/75 R 16 C (M+S) must be inflated to the maximum
admissible pressure of 4.8 bar. Snow chains may only be used
with steel rims and only on the front axle.
Use snow chains only on the front axle.
4.5 Wheel rims
Use only those wheel rims listed in the vehicle‘s documents.
Please observe the following points, should you wish to use
other wheel rims.
The following applies when using other wheel rims:
- Size,
- construction,
- injection depth and
- carrying power must be sufficient for the permissible total
weight.
- The cone of the fastening screw must correspond to the
construction of the wheel rim.
Adaptations are only permitted if these have been released by
the manufacturer.
For explicit information, please refer to the General Type
Approval ("Allgemeinen Betriebserlaubnis", ABE).
Aluminium wheel rims must be tested separately for each type
of vehicle. The screws used on aluminium rims may not be
used for steel rims. When using aluminium rims, tires may not
be changed from the front to the back or vice versa.
