Using Winter Tyres; Using Snow Chains; Tyre Pressure Monitoring System - Ford Mondeo 2007 Owner's Handbook Manual

USING WINTER TYRES

CAUTION
Make sure that you use the
correct wheel nuts for the type
of wheel the winter tyres are fitted to.
If winter tyres are used, make sure
that the tyre pressures are correct.
See Technical specifications
(page 238).

USING SNOW CHAINS

WARNINGS
Do not exceed 50 km/h
(30 mph).
Do not use snow chains on
snow-free roads.
Do not fit snow chains to
235/45 R 17, 235/40 R 18 or
T125/90 R 16 tyres.
CAUTION
If your vehicle is fitted with wheel
trims, remove them before fitting
snow chains.
Note: The ABS will continue to
operate normally.
Only use small link snow chains.
Only use snow chains on the front
wheels.

TYRE PRESSURE
MONITORING SYSTEM
WARNINGS
The system does not relieve you
of your responsibility to regularly
check the tyre pressures.
The system will only provide a
low tyre pressure warning. It will
not inflate the tyres.
The system may take longer to
detect low pressure in the tyres
if you have fitted snow chains.
Do not drive on significantly
under-inflated tyres. This may
cause the tyres to overheat and fail.
Under-inflation reduces fuel
efficiency, tyre tread life and may also
affect your ability to drive the vehicle
safely.
CAUTIONS
Do not bend or damage the
valves when you are inflating the
tyres.
Have tyres installed by properly
trained technicians.
The system monitors the pressure in
the tyres using sensors located on
the wheels and a receiver located in
your vehicle. When the system
detects low pressure in the tyres, a
warning message is displayed in the
information display. See
Information messages (page
99).
