Page 66: Safety Information
DRIVING ON ANY TIRE THAT DOES NOT HAVE THE CORRECT INFLATION PRESSURE IS DANGEROUS Any under inflated tire builds up excessive heat that may result in sudden tire destruction. If tires are supplied as original equipment, refer to the tire decal on the vehicle (check vehicle and/or vehicle owner’s manual for decal location) for the recommended operating pressures. - Page 67 For Example Only: Gauge reading of hot tire: ..... . .32 psi (220 kPa) If recommended, cold inflation pressure is:...30 psi (205 kPa) (205 + 30 = 235 kPa) Therefore: add 2 psi .
- Page 68 105 mph (170 kph). Light truck highway tires that do not have a speed symbol on the sidewall of the tire have a maximum speed rating of 87 mph (140 kph). The speed and other ratings of retreaded tires are assigned by the retreader and replace the original manufacturer’s ratings.
- Page 69 A tire damaged by a road hazard may appear undamaged to you on the outside of the tire. If you suspect your tire may be damaged from striking a road hazard (even when no damage is apparent) have the tire inspected by a tire retailer at once.
- Page 70 If any such damage is found, the tire must be inspected by a tire retailer at once. Use of a damaged tire could result in tire destruction.

- Page 74 Also, mismatched tires and rims can result in dangerous tire failure on the road. If a tire is mounted by error on the wrong-sized rim, do not remount it on the proper rim - scrap it. It may have been damaged internally (which is not externally visible) by having been dangerously stretched and could fail on the highway.
- Page 75 POSSIBLY RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT. If you see any damage to your tires or wheels, contact your local authorized tire retailer or Ford and Lincoln Mercury Dealer. WARNING: For safety and good performance, you must take care of your tires.
