Wheels and Tires

TIREPRESSUREMONITORING SYSTEM WARNING The tire pressure monitoring system is not a substitute for manually checking tire pressures. You should periodically check tire pressures using a pressure gauge. Failure to correctly maintain tire pressures could increase the risk of tire failure, loss of control, vehicle rollover and personal injury. Note: You should only use tire sealants in roadside emergencies as they may cause damage to the tire pressure monitoring system sensor. Note: If the tire pressuremonitoring system sensor becomes damaged, it may not function. Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you should determine the proper tire inflation pressure for those tires). As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate

• 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: 265/70R17 and 275/65R18. • 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 31 mph (50 km/h) or less if recommended by the chain manufacturer while using snowchains. • 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 authorized dealer.
