Every SVT vehicle produced has been designed and developed with four
key virtues in mind: Performance, Substance, Exclusivity, and Value.
These hallmarks have driven the SVT Mustang Cobra since 1993, the
original SVT Lightning from 1993 to 1995, the SVT Contour introduced
in early 1997 as a 1998 model, and the 1999–2004 SVT F-150 Lightning.

WINTER DRIVING
The original equipment tires on your SVT vehicle are designed for
maximum performance in dry and wet conditions. They are not designed
for winter use on ice or snow and cannot be used with snow chains. If
you will be operating your vehicle in these conditions, winter or
all-season tires must be used. Contact the Ford SVT Hotline at
1–800–FORD-SVT for information on SVT recommended winter tires for
your vehicle. When using winter or all-season tires:
•Always use winter tires on all 4 wheels and use 4 of the same size,
brand and model.
•Be aware that winter or all-season tires will not perform as well as the
original equipment tire in dry and wet conditions. Expect handling,
steering and braking to be degraded.
•Do not use a winter tire with less than a“T”rating, and even with
clear, dry driving conditions do not operate your vehicle above posted
speed limits while using winter tires. Never perform high-speed driving
with winter tires.

A WORD ABOUT WARRANTY COVERAGE
The F–150 Lightning carries the same warranty coverage as other Ford
F-150 models. This information is covered in its entirety in the Ford
Motor Company Warranty Guide.
The F–150 Lightning or any SVT can be serviced under warranty at any
Ford-Lincoln-Mercury dealer nationwide.
SVT does not recommend modifying or racing our vehicles, as they are
designed and built to be driven as delivered from the factory. The Ford
Motor Company Warranty Guide discusses the installation of aftermarket
parts and their effect on warranty coverage as follows:
Repairs are not reimbursable under warranty when:
•“The repairs are required because of abuse, misuse, racing, fire,
negligence, accident, modification or a natural disaster.”
•“The repairs are required due to installation of a non-Ford part.”
