Wheels and 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: The suspension insulation and bumpers will help prevent vehicle damage. Do not remove these components from your vehicle when using snow tires and chains. 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. Follow these guidelines when using snow tires and chains: • • If possible, avoid fully loading your vehicle. Use only cable type chains or chains offered by Ford/Lincoln as an accessory or equivalent. Other conventional link type chains may contact and cause damage to the vehicle's wheel house and/or body. Do not install chains on the front tires as this may interfere with suspension components. • • Only certain snow cables or chains have been approved by Ford/Lincoln as safe for use on your vehicle with the following tires: 245/70R17, LT245/70R17, 265/70R17 and 265/60R18. You should install snow cables or chains that have been rated as SAE Class S. Install chains securely, verifying that the chains do not touch any wiring, brake lines, or fuel lines. Do not exceed 30 mph (50 km/h) or less if recommended by the chain manufacturer while using snow chains. 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. Purchase chains or cables from a manufacturer that clearly labels body to tire dimension restrictions. The snow chains or cables must be mounted in pairs on the rear tires only. • • • • • If you have any questions regarding snow chains or cables, please contact your Ford/Lincoln authorized dealer. • 344 F-150 (), enUSA, First Printing

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:

The suspension insulation and

bumpers will help prevent vehicle damage.

Do not remove these components from your

vehicle when using snow tires and chains.

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.

Follow these guidelines when using snow

tires and chains:

•

If possible, avoid fully loading your

vehicle.

•

Use only cable type chains or chains

offered by Ford/Lincoln as an

accessory or equivalent. Other

conventional link type chains may

contact and cause damage to the

vehicle's wheel house and/or body.

•

Do not install chains on the front tires

as this may interfere with suspension

components.

•

Only certain snow cables or chains

have been approved by Ford/Lincoln

as safe for use on your vehicle with the

following tires: 245/70R17,

LT245/70R17, 265/70R17 and

265/60R18.

•

You should install snow cables or

chains that have been rated as SAE

Class S.

•

Install chains securely, verifying that

the chains do not touch any wiring,

brake lines, or fuel lines.

•

Do not exceed 30 mph (50 km/h) or

less if recommended by the chain

manufacturer while using snow chains.

•

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.

•

Purchase chains or cables from a

manufacturer that clearly labels body

to tire dimension restrictions. The snow

chains or cables must be mounted in

pairs on the rear tires only.

If you have any questions regarding snow

chains or cables, please contact your

Ford/Lincoln authorized dealer.
