Using Winter Tires; Vehicles With Stability Control; Using Snow Chains; Tire Pressure Monitoring System - Ford 2014 Mondeo Owner's Manual

To make sure the front and rear tires of
your vehicle wear evenly and last longer,
we recommend that you swap the tires
from front to rear and vice versa at regular
intervals of between 3000 and 6000 miles
(5000 and 10000 kilometers).
WARNING
Do not scrub the sidewalls of the
tires when you are parking.
If you have to mount a curb, do so slowly
and approach it with the wheels at
right-angles to the curb.
Examine the tires regularly for cuts, foreign
objects and uneven wear of the tread.
Uneven wear could mean that the wheel
alignment is outside specification.
Check the tire pressures (including the
spare) when cold, every two weeks.

USING WINTER TIRES

If winter tires are used you must inflate
them to the same tire pressures as those
listed in the tire pressure table. See Tire
Pressures (page 273).

USING SNOW CHAINS

WARNINGS
Do not exceed 30 mph (50 km/h).
Do not use snow chains on snow-free
roads.
Only fit snow chains to specified
tires.
If your vehicle has wheel trims,
remove them before fitting snow
chains.

Wheels and Tires
Only use snow chains of 10 millimeters or
smaller.
Only use snow chains on the front wheels.
Note: The anti-lock braking system will
continue to operate normally.

Vehicles with Stability Control

When stability control is on, your vehicle
may exhibit some unusual driving
characteristics. To reduce this, switch
traction control off. See Using Stability
Control (page 166).
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM
periodically check tire pressures using a
pressure gauge. Failure to correctly
maintain tire pressures could increase the
risk of tire failure, loss of control, vehicle
rollover and personal injury.
You must check the tire pressures
(including the spare tire where applicable)
every two weeks when the tires are cold.
You must inflate the tires to the correct
pressure.
See Wheels and Tires (page 260). The tire
pressures are also on the tire inflation
pressure label (located on the edge of
driver door or the B-Pillar).
