Note:
If your vehicle is equipped with the tire pressure monitoring
system (TPMS), the indicator light will illuminate when the spare tire is
in use. To restore the full functionality of the monitoring system, all road
wheels equipped with tire pressure monitoring sensors must be mounted
on the vehicle.
If your vehicle is equipped with TPMS, have a flat serviced by an
authorized dealer in order to prevent damage to the TPMS sensors, refer
to
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
in the
Tires, Wheels and
Loading
chapter.
WARNING:
The use of tire sealants may damage your Tire
Pressure Monitoring System and should not be used.
WARNING:
Refer to
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
in the
Tires, Wheels and Loading
chapter for important
information. If the tire pressure monitor sensor becomes damaged, it
will no longer function.
Dissimilar spare tire/wheel 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 tire/wheel, 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 tire/wheel that is the same size
and type as the road tires and wheels that were originally provided by
Ford. If the dissimilar spare tire or wheel is damaged, it should be
replaced rather than repaired.
A dissimilar spare tire/wheel is defined as a spare tire and/or wheel that
is different in brand, size or appearance from the road tires and wheels
and can be one of three types:
1.
T-type mini-spare:
This spare tire begins with the letter “T” for tire
size and may have “Temporary Use Only” molded in the sidewall
2.
Full-size dissimilar spare with label on wheel:
This spare tire has
a label on the wheel that states: “THIS TIRE AND WHEEL FOR
TEMPORARY USE ONLY”
When driving with one of the dissimilar spare tires listed above,
do not:
•
Exceed 50 mph (80 km/h)
