WHEELS AND TYRES
Check the pressure of each tyre,
including the space-saver wheel,
approximately every two weeks and
before long journeys: the pressure
should be checked with the tyre rested
and cold.
It is normal for pressure to increase
when the car is used. For the correct
tyre inflation pressure, see “Wheels”
in “Technical specifications” section.

WARNINGS
❒
Avoid braking suddenly, burning
starts and violent knocks against
curbs, potholes or other obstacles
if possible. Driving for long stretches
over bumpy roads can damage
the tyres;
❒
check the tyres regularly for cuts
on the sides, swelling or irregular
tread wear. In this case, go to a Ford
Dealership if required;
❒
avoid overloading the car when
travelling: this may cause serious
damage to the wheels and tyres;
❒
if a tyre is punctured, stop the vehicle
immediately and change it to avoid
damage to the tyre, the rim, the
suspensions and the steering system;
❒
a tyre will age even if it is not used
much. Cracks in the tread and on
the sidewalls are a sign of ageing.
Wrong pressure causes abnormal wear
of tyres,
fig. 5
:
A
standard pressure: tread evenly
worn.
B
low pressure: tread particularly
worn at the edges.
C
high pressure: tread particularly
worn in the centre.
The tyres must be replaced when
the tread is less than 1.6 mm thick.
In any case, follow the laws in force
in the country where you are driving.
