CHANGING A FLAT TIRE
WARNING:
If the tire pressure
monitor sensor becomes damaged it
may not function.
Note:
The use of tire sealant may damage
your tire pressure monitoring system and
should only be used in roadside
emergencies.
Note:
The tire pressure monitoring system
indicator light illuminates when the spare
tire is in use. To restore the full function of
the monitoring system, all road wheels
equipped with tire pressure monitoring
sensors must be mounted on this vehicle.
If you get a flat tire when driving, do not
apply the brake heavily. Instead, gradually
decrease your speed. Hold the steering
wheel firmly and slowly move to a safe
place on the side of the road.
Have a flat serviced by an authorized
dealer to prevent damage to the system
sensors.Replace the spare tire with a road
tire as soon as possible. During repairing
or replacing the flat tire, have the
authorized dealer inspect the system
sensor for damage.
Dissimilar Spare Wheel and Tire
Assembly Information
WARNING:
Failure to follow these
guidelines could result in an increased
risk of loss of vehicle control, injury or
death.
If you have a dissimilar spare wheel and
tire, then it is intended for temporary use
only. This means that if you need to use it,
you should replace it as soon as possible
with a road wheel and tire assembly that
is the same size and type as the road tires
and wheels that were originally provided
by Ford.
A dissimilar spare wheel and tire assembly
is defined as a spare wheel and tire
assembly that is different in brand, size or
appearance from the road tires and
wheels.
Full-size dissimilar spare
When driving with the full-size dissimilar
spare wheel and tire assembly, do not:
•
Exceed 70 mph (113 km/h).
•
Use more than one dissimilar spare
wheel and tire assembly at a time.
•
Use snow chains on the end of the
vehicle with the dissimilar spare wheel
and tire assembly.
When driving with the full-size dissimilar
spare wheel and tire assembly, four-wheel
drive functionality may be limited,
especially when driving in a mechanically
locked four-wheel drive mode. You may
experience the following:
•
Additional noise from the transfer case
or other drive components.
•
Difficulty shifting out of a mechanically
locked four-wheel drive mode.
When driving with the full-size dissimilar
spare wheel and tire assembly, it is
recommended that you do not:
•
Exceed 50 mph (80 km/h) in
four-wheel drive.
•
Engage four-wheel drive unless the
vehicle is stationary.
