spark plugs FORD FOCUS 2004 1.G Owners Manual

Vehicles with Traction Control (if equipped) may exhibit some unusual
driving characteristics, when using snow chains, which can be avoided by
switching Traction Control off.
Follow these guidelines when using snow tires and chains:
Snow chains should only be fitted to size P 185/65 R14 tires.
Snow chains should never be used on the spare tire.
•Use only SAE Class S chains.
•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 insulation and bumpers will help prevent vehicle
damage. Do not remove these components from your vehicle when
using snow tires and chains.
