CABIN AIR FILTER
Your vehicle is equipped with a Cabin air filter. The cabin air filter
restricts the entry of airborne dust and pollen particles. The filter is
located just in front of the windshield under the cowl vent screen on the
passenger side of the vehicle.
For more information, or to replace the filter, see your Ford, Lincoln or
Mercury Dealer.

Follow these guidelines when using snow tires and chains:
•Use only cable type SAE Class“S”chains. Conventional link or other
type chains may cause damage to your vehicle’s wheelhouse and/or
underbody.
•These cable type chains should only be applied to the front wheels.
•Install chains securely, verifying that the chains do not touch any
wiring, brake lines or fuel lines.
•Drive cautiously. If you hear the chains rub or bang against your
vehicle, stop and re-tighten the chains. If this does not work, remove
the chains to prevent damage to your vehicle.
•If possible, avoid fully loading your vehicle.
•Remove the tire chains when they are no longer needed. Do not use
tire chains on dry roads.
•The suspension insulators and jounce bumpers will help prevent
vehicle damage. Do not remove these components from your vehicle
when using snow tires and chains.
