LINCOLN AVIATOR 2004 Owners Manual

Follow these guidelines when using snow tires and chains:
²Use only cable type chains or chains offered by Ford as an accessory
or equivalent. Other conventional link type chains may contact and
cause damage to the vehicle's wheel house and/or body.
²Do not install chains on the front wheels. Chains on the front wheels
may interfere with suspension components.
²Install chains securely, verifying that the chains do not touch any
wiring, brake lines or fuel lines.
²Drive 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.
²If possible, avoid fully loading your vehicle.
²Remove the tire chains when they are no longer needed. Do not use
tire chains on dry roads.
²The suspension insulation and bumpers will help prevent vehicle
damage. Do not remove these components from your vehicle when
using snow tires and chains.
²Do not exceed 48 km/h (30 mph) with tire chains on your vehicle.
