The winter performance of these tyres
IMPORTANT When using snow tyres
with a maximum speed index below
the one that can be reached by the car
(increased by 5%), place a notice in the
passenger compartment, plainly in view,
which states the maximum speed
allowed by the snow tyres (as per EC
Directive).
SNOW TYRES
is considerably reduced when the tread
thickness is less than 4 mm. Replace
them in this case.
Use snow tyres of the same size as
the normal tyres provided with the car.
Due to snow tyre features, under
normal conditions of use or on long
motorway journeys, the performance
of these tyres is much lower than that
of standard tyres. Limit performance
according to the use for which they
were certified.
The Ford Dealership will be happy
to provide advice concerning the most
suitable type of tyre for the customer’s
requirements.
All four tyres should be the same
(brand and profile) to ensure greater
safety when driving and braking as well
as making the car more responsive.
For the type of tyre to be used, inflation
pressures and the specifications of snow
tyres, follow the instructions given
in paragraph “Wheels” in section
“Technical specifications”.
Remember that it is inappropriate to
change the rotation direction of tyres.
WARNING
You must not exceed
160 km/h on snow tyres
with a “Q” mark; in any case,
make sure you stick to the rules
of the highway code.
