Using snow tires and chains
Snow tires must be the
same size and grade as the
tires you currently have on your
vehicle.
The tires on your vehicle have
all—weather treads to provide
traction in rain and snow. However,
in some climates, using snow tires
and chains may be necessary. Ford
offers tire cables as a Ford
approved accessory and
recommends use of these or their
equivalents. See your dealer or
qualified service technician for
more information on tire cables for
your vehicle. Follow these
guidelines when using snow tires
and chains:
•
Install chains securely, verifying
that the chains do not touch any
wiring, brake lines or fuel lines.
•
Install the chains on the rear
tires only.
•
Drive cautiously. If you hear the
chains rub or bang against the
vehicle, stop and retighten
them. If this does not work,
remove the chains to prevent
vehicle damage.
•
Avoid overloading your vehicle.
•
Remove the tire chains when
they are no longer needed. Do
not use chains on dry roads.
•
The suspension insulation and
bumpers will help prevent
vehicle damage. Do not remove
