Tire Quality Grades apply to new pneumatic passenger car tires. They do
not apply to deep tread, winter-type snow tires, space-saver or
temporary use spare tires, light truck or LT type tires, tires with nominal
rim diameters of 10 to 12 inches or limited production tires as defined in
Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations Part 575.104(c)(2).
U.S. Department of Transportation-Tire quality grades:The U.S.
Department of Transportation requires Ford Motor Company to give you
the following information about tire grades exactly as the government
has written it.
Treadwear
The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of
the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specified
government test course. For example, a tire graded 150 would wear 1
12
times as well on the government course as a tire graded 100. The
relative performance of tires depends upon the actual conditions of their
use, however, and may depart significantly from the norm due to
variations in driving habits, service practices, and differences in road
characteristics and climate.
Traction AA A B C
WARNING:The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on
straight-ahead braking traction tests, and does not include
acceleration, cornering, hydroplaning or peak traction characteristics.
The traction grades, from highest to lowest are AA, A, B, and C. The
grades represent the tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement as measured
under controlled conditions on specified government test surfaces of
asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C may have poor traction
performance.
Temperature A B C
WARNING:The temperature grade for this tire is established for
a tire that is properly inflated and not overloaded. Excessive
speed, underinflation, or excessive loading, either separately or in
combination, can cause heat buildup and possible tire failure.
The temperature grades are A (the highest), B and C, representing the
tire’s resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat
when tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory
test wheel. Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire

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 chains.
Follow these guidelines when using snow tires and cable chains:
•If possible, avoid fully loading your vehicle.
•Use only SAE Class S cables or equivalent.
•Use SAE Class S cables only on the front axle on vehicles equipped
with P245/60R18 tires.
•Do not use tire cables or optional traction devices with P245/50R20 or
P265/40R22 tires.
•Install cables securely, verifying that the cables do not touch any
wiring, brake lines or fuel lines.
•Drive cautiously. If you hear the cable chains rub or bang against your
vehicle, stop and retighten the cables. If this does not work, remove
the cables to prevent damage to your vehicle.
•Do not exceed 30 mph (48 km/h) with tire cables on your vehicle.
•Remove the tire cables when they are no longer needed. Do not use
tire cables on dry roads.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM
WARNING:The tire pressure monitoring system is NOT a
substitute for manually checking tire pressure. The tire pressure
should be checked periodically (at least monthly) using a tire gauge.
SeeInflating Your Tiresin this chapter. Failure to properly maintain
your tire pressure could increase the risk of tire failure, loss of control,
vehicle rollover and personal injury.

Using the Touch-sensitive Controls on Your System
To turn a feature on and off, just touch the graphic with your finger. To
get the best performance from the touch-sensitive controls, keep in
mind:
•Do not press hard on the controls. They are sensitive to light touch.
•Use your bare finger to touch the center of a touch-control graphic.
Touching off-center of the graphic may affect operation of a nearby
control.
•Make sure your hands are clean and dry.
•Keep metal and other conductive material away from the surface of
the touchscreen as this may cause electronic interference (for
example, inadvertently turning on a feature other than the one you
meant to turn on).
Depending on your vehicle and option package, you may also have these
controls on your bezel:
•Power: Switch the media or climate features off and on.
•VOLand fan slider bars: Slide your finger over the rear slider area to
control the volume of playing media or the climate system fan.
•Seek and Tune buttons: Use as you normally would in media modes.
•Eject: Eject a CD from the entertainment system.
•SOURCE:Touch the word repeatedly to see all available media
modes. The screen does not change, but you see the media change in
the lower left status bar.
•SOUND:Touch the word to access the Sound menu where you can
adjust settings such as: Bass, Treble, Midrange, Balance and Fade,
THX Deep note Demo, DSP (Digital Signal Processing), Occupancy
Mode and Speed Compensated Volume. (Your vehicle may not have
all of these sound options.)
•Hazard flasher: Switch the hazard flashers off and on.
Cleaning the Touchscreen Display
Use a clean, soft cloth such as one used for cleaning glasses. If dirt or
fingerprints are still visible, apply a small amount of alcohol to the cloth.
Do not pour or spray alcohol onto the display. Do not use detergent or
any type of solvent to clean the display.
