To continue providing this performance, you must take extra care when operating and maintaining your vehicle. Tires Wheels LT315/70R17 BSW tires SVT-Signature style, 17 in x 8.5 in aluminum 6-spoke wheels LT315/70R17 BSW tire Your vehicle is equipped with high performance, all-terrain tires designed to optimize handling, steering and braking to provide the performance you expect in an SVT vehicle. These tires are optimized for both on and off-road performance, and their ride, noise and wear characteristics are different from other tires. Also, because of their aggressive tread profile, it is important that you maintain your tires properly. • Always maintain your tire pressures according to the tire information placard located on the driver 's door B-pillar, using an accurate gauge. Remember to be prepared to re-inflate your tires before returning to the road. If a tire filling station is not available, remember to prepare a supplemental means to inflate the tires, such as a portable compressor. In cold temperature, check the tire pressure after the vehicle has been parked for more than three hours. Do not reduce pressure of warm tires. Check your tire pressure often to maintain it properly. Tire pressure can diminish over time and fluctuate with temperature. Do not overload your vehicle. Maximum vehicle and axle weights are listed on the tire information placard. Extra caution should be taken when operating the vehicle near its maximum load, including assuring proper tire pressure and reducing speeds. In the event that you encounter an abnormally harsh impact, inspect your tires for damage. Inspect your tires for damage on a regular basis. Replace a damaged tire immediately. Spare tire TIRE CARE WARNINGS Always re-inflate tires to recommended tire pressures before the vehicle is operated on-road. The recommended pressure is located on the tire placard label or safety certification label, located on the B-pillar, inside the driver 's door. Always check tires and wheels for damage before returning to the road. Off-road use may cause damage to your tires and wheels that could result in tire failure. Note: If you have reduced your tire pressure for off-road use, the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) warning light will then activate in the instrument panel as a reminder to re-inflate the tires before returning to the road. • • • • • • 26 F150 (TF6)
