Ford 1996 Taurus Manual page 292

Put the chains on the front tires tightly with
the ends held down securely. Retighten the
chains after driving 1/2 mile (1 km). Follow
the chain manufacturer's instructions.
Do not drive faster than 30 mph (50 km/h)
or the chain manufacturer's recommended
speed limit, whichever is lower. Avoid
bumps, holes and sharp turns. If you can
hear the chains rub or bang against your
vehicle, remove the chains to prevent damage
to your vehicle.
Tire chains may affect vehicle handling. Drive
carefully and avoid hard braking.
Do not use chains on temporary spare tires.
They may damage the vehicle and the tire.
Remove tire chains at the first opportunity
after using them on snow and ice. Do not use
the chains on dry roads.
Cleaning the Wheels
Wash the wheels with the same detergent you
use to wash your vehicle's body. Do not use
acid-based wheel cleaners, steel wool, abrasives,
fuel, or strong detergents. These substances will
damage protective coatings. Use tar and road oil
remover to remove grease and tar.
NOTE: Before going to a car wash, find out if
the brushes are abrasive.
