The installation of replacement tires with steel cord body plies in the tire
sidewall may cause malfunction of the Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS), and is not recommended (cord material information is molded
on the tire sidewall). Additionally, if your vehicle was originally equipped
with run-flat tires, replacing them with tires that are not identical to
those originally fitted may cause malfunction of the TPMS, and is not
recommended. Run-flat tires should not be used to replace regular tires.
Always check your TPMS indicator immediately after replacing one or
more tires on your vehicle. If the TPMS indicator is on, your TPMS is
malfunctioning. Your replacement tire might be incompatible with your
TPMS system, or some component of the TPMS system may be damaged.
Important:
Ford recommends you replace your tires every 6 years
regardless of the condition of the tire tread wear. As tires age, the
rubber weakens, potentially increasing the risk of a tire failure during
use, causing loss of vehicle control and personal injury.
Important:
Remember to replace the spare tire when you replace the
road tires on your vehicle. Even if it has never been used, the spare tire
should be replaced because tires degrade over time.
Important:
Remember to replace the wheel air valves when the road
tires are replaced on your vehicle.
CHANGING THE TIRES
If you get a flat tire while driving:
•
do not brake heavily.
•
gradually decrease the vehicle’s speed.
•
hold the steering wheel firmly.
•
slowly move to a safe place on the side of the road.
The use of tire sealants may damage your tires. The use of tire
sealants may also damage your Tire Pressure Monitoring System.
Your vehicle is equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system;
refer to
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
later in this chapter
for important information. If the tire pressure monitor sensor becomes
damaged, it will no longer function.
