weight FORD SUPER DUTY 2014 3.G Owner's Guide

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 to degenerate
and reduce tire life, and excessive
temperature can lead to sudden
tire failure. The grade C
corresponds to a level of
performance which all passenger
car tires must meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard No. 139. Grades B and A
represent higher levels of
performance on the laboratory
test wheel than the minimum
required by law.
Glossary of Tire Terminology
*Tire label: A label showing the
original equipment tire sizes,
recommended inflation pressure
and the maximum weight the
vehicle can carry.
*
Tire Identification Number
(TIN): A number on the sidewall
of each tire providing information
about the tire brand and
manufacturing plant, tire size and
date of manufacture. Also referred
to as DOT code.
*
Inflation pressure: A measure
of the amount of air in a tire.
*
Standard load: A class of
P-metric or Metric tires designed
to carry a maximum load at 35 psi
[37 psi (2.5 bar) for Metric tires].
Increasing the inflation pressure
beyond this pressure will not
increase the tire ’s load carrying
capability.
*
Extra load: A class of P-metric
or Metric tires designed to carry a
heavier maximum load at 41 psi
[43 psi (2.9 bar) for Metric tires].
Increasing the inflation pressure
beyond this pressure will not
increase the tire ’s load carrying
capability.

A.
P: Indicates a tire, designated
by the Tire and Rim Association,
that may be used for service on
cars, sport utility vehicles,
minivans and light trucks. Note:
If
your tire size does not begin with
a letter this may mean it is
designated by either the European
Tire and Rim Technical
Organization or the Japan Tire
Manufacturing Association.
B. 215:
Indicates the nominal
width of the tire in millimeters
from sidewall edge to sidewall
edge. In general, the larger the
number, the wider the tire.
C. 65:
Indicates the aspect ratio
which gives the tire's ratio of
height to width.
D. R:
Indicates a radial type tire.
E. 15:
Indicates the wheel or rim
diameter in inches. If you change
your wheel size, you will have to
purchase new tires to match the
new wheel diameter.
F. 95:
Indicates the tire's load
index. It is an index that relates to
how much weight a tire can carry.
You may find this information in
your owner ’s manual. If not,
contact a local tire dealer.
Note: You may not find this
information on all tires because it
is not required by federal law. G.
H:
Indicates the tire's speed
rating. The speed rating denotes
the speed at which a tire is
designed to be driven for extended
periods of time under a standard
condition of load and inflation
pressure. The tires on your vehicle
may operate at different
conditions for load and inflation
pressure. These speed ratings may
need to be adjusted for the
difference in conditions. The
ratings range from 81 mph (130
km/h) to 186 mph (299 km/h).
These ratings are listed in the
following chart.

information on all tires because it

WARNINGS
Do not attempt to change a tire on
the side of the vehicle close to
moving traffic. Pull far enough off the
road to avoid the danger of being hit when
operating the jack or changing the wheel. Always use the jack provided as
original equipment with your vehicle.
If using a jack other than the one
provided as original equipment with your
vehicle, make sure the jack capacity is
adequate for the vehicle weight, including
any vehicle cargo or modifications. Note:
Passengers should not remain in the
vehicle when the vehicle is being jacked.
Park on a level surface, set the parking
brake and activate the hazard flashers. 1.
Turn the engine off and block the wheel
that is diagonally opposite of the flat
tire using the wheel chock. Note: Lock
the manual hub on the wheel if the
vehicle is a 4x4.
2. Remove the jack, jack handle, lug wrench and spare tire from the
stowage locations.
3. Use the tip of the lug wrench to remove
any wheel trim.
4. Loosen each wheel lug nut ½ turn counterclockwise, but do not remove
them until the wheel is raised off the
ground. F-250 and F-350 single rear wheel
vehicles
1. Insert the hooked end of the jack
handle into the jack and use the handle
to slide the jack under the vehicle.
2. Position the jack according to the following guides: Front (4x2)
Front driver side (4x4)

•
When adding accessories, equipment,
passengers and luggage to your
vehicle, do not exceed the total weight
capacity of the vehicle or of the front
or rear axle (GVWR or GAWR as
indicated on the Safety Compliance
Certification label). Consult your
authorized dealer for specific weight
information.
• The Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) and Canadian
Radio Telecommunications
Commission (CRTC) regulate the use
of mobile communications systems —
such as two-way radios, telephones
and theft alarms — that are equipped
with radio transmitters. Any such
equipment installed in your vehicle
should comply with Federal
Communications Commission (FCC)
and Canadian Radio
Telecommunications Commission
(CRTC) regulations and installed only
by a qualified service technician.
• Mobile communications systems may
harm the operation of your vehicle,
particularly if they are not properly
designed for automotive use.
• To avoid interference with other vehicle
functions, such as anti-lock braking
systems, amateur radio users who
install radios and antennas onto their
vehicle should not locate the amateur
radio antennas in the area of the
driver's side hood.
• Any non-Ford custom electrical or
electronic accessories or components
that are added to the vehicle by the
authorized dealer or the owner, may
adversely affect battery performance
and durability, and may adversely
affect the performance of other
electrical systems in the vehicle. AUXILIARY SWITCHES
The auxiliary switch option package
provides four switches, mounted in the
center of the instrument panel. These
switches will operate only while the ignition
is in the on position, whether the engine is
running or not. It is recommended,
however, that the engine remain running
to maintain battery charge when using the
auxiliary switches for extended periods of
time or higher current draws.
Note:
When your vehicle is equipped with
a diesel engine, use the auxiliary switches
only while the engine is running. The glow
plugs also drain battery power when the
ignition key is in the on position. Using the
auxiliary switches, even for limited amounts
of time, can cause your battery to drain
quickly and prevent your vehicle from
restarting.
When switched on, the auxiliary switches
provide 8 amps, 12 amps or 20 amps of
electrical battery power for a variety of
personal or commercial uses.
The relay box for the auxiliary switches is
located on the end of the left side of the
instrument panel. See your authorized
dealer for service.
The relays are coded as shown below:
