Sometimes irregular tire wear can be
corrected by rotating the tires.
USING SUMMER TIRES
Summer tires provide superior
performance on wet and dry roads.
Summer tires do not have the Mud and
Snow (M+S or M/S) tire traction rating on
the tire side wall. Since summer tires do
not have the same traction performance
as All-season or Snow tires, we do not
recommend using summer tires when
temperatures drop to about 7°C (45°F) or
below (depending on tire wear and
environmental conditions) or in snow and
ice...

on the rear axle only.
• Do not use snow chains or cables with

four road tires and sends the tire pressure
readings to your vehicle.

inflation pressure and the warning lamp
illuminates.  You must inflate the tires to
the correct pressure.

tire, then it is intended for temporary use
only. This means that if you need to use it,
you should replace it as soon as possible
with a road wheel and tire assembly that
is the same size and type as the road tires
and wheels that were originally provided
by Ford. If the dissimilar spare...

the ground, the transmission alone
will not prevent your vehicle from
moving or slipping off the jack, even if the
transmission is in park (P) or reverse (R)
for manual transmissions. To help prevent your vehicle from
moving when you change a tire, be
sure to place the transmission in park
(P) or reverse (R) for manual...
