Get Wheels and Tires Guide for Ford Kuga SUV Second Generation (2013-2018)

Wheels and Tires

WARNINGS

GENERAL INFORMATION

Do not use the kit on a previously

damaged tire, for example when it

has been driven under inflated. This

could cause loss of vehicle control,

personal injury or death.

A decal with tire pressure data is located

in the driver’s door opening.

Check and set the tire pressure at the

ambient temperature in which you are

intending to drive your vehicle and when

the tires are cold.

Do not use the kit on run flat tires.

This could cause loss of vehicle

control.

Note: Check your tire pressures regularly to

optimize fuel economy.

Do not try to seal damage to the

tire’s sidewall. The tire could burst

and cause loss of vehicle control,

personal injury or death.

Note: Use only approved wheel and tire

sizes. Using other sizes could damage your

vehicle and will make the National Type

Approval invalid.

Note: If you change the diameter of the tires

from that fitted at the factory, the

speedometer may not display the correct

speed. Take your vehicle to an authorized

dealer to have the engine management

system reprogrammed.

The kit seals most tire punctures [with a

diameter of up to ¼ inch (six millimetres)]

to temporarily restore mobility.

You must observe the following rules when

using the kit:

•

Drive with caution and avoid making

sudden steering or driving maneuvers,

especially if your vehicle is heavily

loaded or you are towing a trailer.

The kit will provide you with an

emergency temporary repair, enabling

you to continue your journey to the next

vehicle or tire dealer, or to drive a

maximum distance of 125 miles

(200 kilometers).

Note: If you intend to change the size of the

wheels from that fitted at the factory, check

the suitability with an authorized dealer.

TEMPORARY MOBILITY KIT

Your vehicle may not have a spare tire.

Therefore you will have a temporary

mobility kit which will only repair one

damaged tire.

•

Do not exceed a maximum speed of

50 mph (80 km/h).

The kit is located in the spare wheel well.

General Information

WARNINGS

Keep the kit out of the reach of

children.

Only use the kit when the ambient

temperature is between -40°F

(–40°C) and +158°F (+70°C).

Depending on the type and extent of

tire damage, some tires can only be

partially sealed or not sealed at all.

Loss of tire pressure can affect vehicle

handling, leading to loss of vehicle control.

Using the Kit

WARNINGS

Compressed air can act as an

explosive or propellant which could

cause serious personal injury.

Watch the sidewall of the tire. If any

cracks, bumps or similar damage

appears, switch the compressor off

and let the air out by means of the pressure

relief valve B. Do not continue driving with

this tire. This could cause loss of vehicle

control.

The sealant contains natural rubber

latex. Avoid contact with skin and

clothing. If this happens, rinse the

affected areas immediately with plenty of

water and consult a physician.

Note: You must only use the kit for the

vehicle with which it was supplied.

•

Park your vehicle at the roadside so

that you do not obstruct the flow of

traffic and so that you are able to use

the kit without being in danger.

Apply the parking brake, even if you

have parked on a level road, to make

sure that your vehicle will not move.

Do not attempt to remove foreign

objects like nails or screws penetrating

the tire.

•

If the tire inflation pressure does not

reach 1.8 bar (26 psi) within 10

minutes, the tire may have suffered

excessive damage, making a temporary

repair impossible. In this case, do not

continue driving with this tire. This could

cause loss of vehicle control.

Leave the engine running while the kit

is in use, but not if your vehicle is in an

enclosed or poorly ventilated area (e.g,

inside a building). In these

TIRE CARE

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. See Technical Specifications

(page 224).

If your vehicle has wheel trims,

remove them before fitting snow

chains.

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).

Note: The anti-lock braking system will

continue to operate normally.

Only use small link snow chains.

Only use snow chains on the front wheels.

WARNING

Do not scrub the sidewalls of the

Vehicles with Stability Control

tires when you are parking.

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 137).

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.

Wheels and Tires

You must check the tire pressures

When the malfunction indicator is

illuminated, the system may not be able

to detect or signal low tire pressures. A

malfunction may occur for a variety of

reasons, including the installation of a

replacement tire or wheel that prevents

the system from functioning correctly.

Always check the tire pressure monitoring

(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 209). The tire

pressures are also on the tire inflation

pressure label (located on the edge of

driver door or the B-Pillar).

As a driver assistance feature, your vehicle

has a tire pressure monitoring system. A

warning lamp will illuminate when one or

more of the tires are significantly

under-inflated. If the low tire pressure

warning lamp illuminates, you should stop

your vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so,

check the tires and inflate them to the

correct pressure.

How Temperature Affects the Tire

Pressures

Under normal driving conditions tire

pressures may increase by up to 4 psi

(0.3 bar) from a cold start situation.

Driving on under-inflated tires can:

•

Cause them to overheat.

Lead to tire failure.

Reduce fuel efficiency.

Reduce tire life.

If the vehicle is stationary overnight and

the temperature significantly lower than

the daytime temperature, tire pressures

may decrease by up to 3 psi (0.2 bar) when

there is a drop in the ambient temperature

of 31°F (17°C) or more. The system detects

this pressure decrease as being

significantly below the correct inflation

pressure and the warning lamp illuminates.

You must maintain the correct tire

pressures, even if low tire pressure has not

illuminated the warning lamp.

Changing Tires With a Tire

Pressure Monitoring System

The tire pressure monitoring system has a

system malfunction indicator to warn you

when the system is not operating correctly.

The malfunction indicator and low tire

pressure warning lamp have a combined

function. When the system detects a

malfunction, the warning lamp will flash

for approximately one minute and then

remain illuminated. This sequence will

occur every time you switch the ignition on

while the malfunction remains. The system

has detected a fault that requires service.

Installed

Note: Each road wheel and tire is fitted with

a tire pressure sensor located inside the

wheel and tire assembly cavity. The pressure

sensor attaches to the valve stem. The tire

covers the pressure sensor and it is not

visible unless the tire is removed. Take care

when changing the tire to avoid damaging

the sensor.

If you need to replace a road wheel and

tire with the temporary spare wheel, the

system will continue to identify a defect.

This is to remind you to repair the damaged

road wheel and tire and refit the repaired

road wheel and tire assembly to your

vehicle. To restore the correct operation

of the system, you must have the repaired

road wheel and tire assembly refitted to

your vehicle.

Understanding the Tire Pressure

Monitoring System

When You Believe the System is Not

The system measures the pressure in the

four road tires and sends the tire pressure

readings to your vehicle.

The system detects this lower pressure as

being significantly below the correct

inflation pressure and the warning lamp

illuminates. You must inflate the tires to

the correct pressure.

Operating Correctly

The main function of the system is to warn

you when the tire pressures are low. It can

also warn you in the event the system is

no longer capable of operating correctly.

See the following chart for information

concerning the system:

When Inflating the Tires

When inflating the tires the system may

not respond immediately to the air added

to the tires.
