Get Wheels and Tires Guide for Ford Mustang 2 Door Sixth Generation (2015-2023)

TIRE SEALANT AND INFLATOR

KIT (If Equipped)

Note: The temporary mobility kit contains

enough sealant compound in the canister

for one tire repair only. See an authorized

Ford dealer for replacement sealant

canisters.

The kit is located under the load floor in

the trunk. The kit consists of an air

compressor to re-inflate the tire and a

canister of sealing compound that will

effectively seal most punctures caused by

nails or similar objects. This kit provides a

temporary tire repair, allowing you to drive

your vehicle up to 200 km at a maximum

speed of 80 km/h to reach a tire service

location.

General Information

WARNING

Failure to follow these guidelines

could result in an increased risk of

loss of vehicle control, injury or death.

Note: Do not use the kit if you have severely

damaged a tire. Only seal punctures located

within the tire tread with the kit.

Do not attempt to repair punctures larger

than ¼ inch (6 millimeters) or damage to

the tire's sidewall. The tire may not

completely seal.

Loss of air pressure may adversely affect

tire performance. For this reason:

Note: Do not drive the vehicle above

80 km/h.

Note: Do not drive further than 200 km.

Drive only to the closest authorized Ford

dealer or tire repair shop to have your tire

inspected.

• Drive carefully and avoid abrupt

steering maneuvers.

• Periodically monitor tire inflation

pressure in the affected tire; if the tire

is losing pressure, have the vehicle

towed.

• Read the information in the Tips for

Use of the Kit section to make sure safe

operation of the kit and your vehicle.

Tips for Use of the Kit

To ensure safe operation of the kit:

• Read all instructions and cautions fully.

• Before operating the kit, make sure

your vehicle is safely off the road and

away from moving traffic. Switch on

the hazard lights.

• Always set the parking brake to ensure

the vehicle does not move

unexpectedly.

• Do not remove any foreign objects,

such as nails or screws, from the tire.

• When using the kit, leave the engine

running (only if the vehicle is outdoors

or in a well-ventilated area) so the

compressor does not drain the

vehicle's battery.

• Do not allow the compressor to

operate continuously for more than 15

minutes. This will help prevent the

compressor from overheating.

• Never leave the kit unattended during

operation.

• Sealant compound contains latex.

Those with latex sensitivities should

use appropriate precautions to avoid

an allergic reaction.

• Keep the kit away from children.

• Only use the kit when the ambient

temperature is between -30°C and

70°C.

• Only use the sealing compound before

the use-by date. The use-by date is on

a label on the sealant canister, which

you can see through the rectangular

viewing window on the bottom of the

compressor. Check the use-by date

regularly and replace the canister after

four years of non-use.

• Do not store the kit unsecured inside

the passenger compartment of the

vehicle as it may cause injury during a

sudden stop or crash. Always store the

kit in its original location.

• After sealant use, an authorized Ford

dealer must replace the tire pressure

monitoring system sensor and valve

stem on the wheel.

• Operating the kit could cause an

electrical disturbance in radio, CD and

DVD player operation.

* When inflation only is required

for a tire or other objects, the

selector must be in the Air

position.

What to do When a Tire Is

Punctured

You can repair a tire puncture within the

tire's tread area in two stages with the kit.

• In the first stage, inflate the tire with a

sealing compound and air. After you

inflate the tire, you will need to drive

the vehicle a short distance 6 km to

distribute the sealant in the tire.

• In the second stage, check the tire

pressure and adjust, if necessary, to the

vehicle's specified tire inflation

pressure.

First Stage: Inflating the Tire with

Sealing Compound and Air

WARNINGS

Do not stand directly over the kit

while inflating the tire. If you notice

any unusual bulges or deformations

in the tire's sidewall during inflation, stop

and call roadside assistance.

If the tire does not inflate to the

recommended tire pressure within

15 minutes, stop and call roadside

assistance.

Do not run the engine when

operating the air compressor unless

the vehicle is outdoors or in a

well-ventilated area.

Preparation: Park the vehicle in a safe, level

and secure area, away from moving traffic.

Switch the hazard lights on. Apply the

parking brake and switch the engine off.

Inspect the flat tire for visible damage.

Sealant compound contains latex. Use

appropriate precautions to avoid any

allergic reactions.

Do not remove any foreign object that has

pierced the tire. If a puncture is located in

the tire sidewall, stop and call roadside

assistance.

1. Remove the valve cap from the tire

valve.

2. Unwrap the dual purpose hose (black

tube) from the back of the compressor

housing.

3. Fasten the hose to the tire valve by

turning the connector clockwise.

Tighten the connection securely.

position. Switch the kit on by pressing

the on/off button (B).

8. Inflate the tire to the pressure listed on

the tire label located on the driver's

door or the door jamb area. The initial

air pressure gauge reading may indicate

a value higher than the label pressure

while you pump the sealing compound

into the tire. This is normal and should

be no reason for concern. The pressure

gauge reading will indicate the tire

inflation pressure after about 30

seconds of operation. You should

check the final tire pressure with the

compressor turned OFF in order to get

an accurate pressure reading.

E175982

9. When the tire reaches the

recommended tire pressure, switch off

the kit, unplug the power cable, and

disconnect the hose from the tire valve.

Re-install the valve cap on the tire

valve and return the kit to the stowage

area.

10. Immediately and cautiously, drive the

vehicle 6 km to distribute the sealant

evenly inside the tire. Do not exceed

80 km/h.

11. After 6 km, stop and check the tire

pressure. See Second Stage:

Checking Tire Pressure.

Note: If you experience any unusual

vibration, ride disturbance or noise while

driving, reduce your speed until you can

safely pull off to the side of the road to call

for roadside assistance. Note: Do not

proceed to the second stage of this

operation.

Second Stage: Checking Tire

Pressure

Note: If you are proceeding from the First

Stage: Re-inflating the Tire with Sealing

Compound and Air section and have

injected sealant in the tire and the pressure

is below 1.4 bar, continue to the next step.

WARNING

The power plug may get hot after use

and should be handled carefully

when unplugging.

Check the air pressure of your tires as

follows:

E175983

1. Remove the valve cap from the tire

valve.

2. Firmly screw the air compressor hose

onto the valve stem by turning

clockwise.

3. Push and turn the dial clockwise to the

air position.

4. If required, switch on the compressor

and adjust the tire to the

recommended inflation pressure

shown on the tire label located on the

driver's door or door jamb area. You

should check the tire pressure with the

compressor turned OFF in order to get

an accurate pressure reading.

5. Unplug the hoses, re-install the valve

cap on the tire and return the kit to the

stowage area.

What to Do After the Tire has Been

Sealed

After using the kit to seal your tire, you will

need to replace the sealant canister. You

can obtain sealant canisters and spare

parts at an authorized Ford dealer. You can

dispose of empty sealant canisters at

home. However, you should dispose of

canisters still containing liquid sealant

through your local authorized Ford dealer

or tire dealer, or in accordance with local

waste disposal regulation.

Note: After you use the sealing compound,

the maximum vehicle speed is 80 km/h and

the maximum driving distance is 200 km.

You should inspect the sealed tire

immediately.

You can check the tire pressure any time

within the 200 km by performing the steps

listed previously in the Second Stage:

Checking Tire Pressure procedure.

Make sure you check the sealant

compound’s use-by date regularly. The

use-by date is on a label located on the

sealant canister, which you can see

through the rectangular viewing window

on the bottom of the kit. You should

replace the sealant canister after four

years of non-use.

TIRE CARE

Note: If your tires show uneven wear ask

an authorized dealer to check for and correct

any wheel misalignment, tire imbalance or

mechanical problem involved before tire

rotation.

Note: Your vehicle may be equipped with

a dissimilar spare wheel and tire assembly.

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.

If you have a dissimilar spare wheel and tire

assembly it is intended for temporary use

only and should not be used in a tire

rotation.

Note: After having your tires rotated,

inflation pressure must be checked and

adjusted to the vehicle requirements.

Rotating your tires at the recommended

interval (as indicated in the Scheduled

Maintenance chapter) will help your tires

wear more evenly, providing better tire

performance and longer tire life.

E209823

Sometimes irregular tire wear can be

corrected by rotating the tires.

USING SUMMER TIRES

Summer tires provide superior

performance on wet and dry roads.

Summer tires do not have the Mud and

Snow (M+S or M/S) tire traction rating on

the tire side wall. Since summer tires do

not have the same traction performance

as All-season or Snow tires, we do not

recommend using summer tires when

temperatures drop to about 7°C or below

(depending on tire wear and environmental

conditions) or in snow and ice conditions.

Like any tire, summer tire performance is

affected by tire wear and environmental

conditions. If you must drive in those

conditions, we recommend using Mud and

Snow (M+S, M/S), All-season or Snow

tires.

Always store your summer tires indoors at

temperatures above -7°C. The rubber

compounds used in these tires lose

flexibility and may develop surface cracks

in the tread area at temperatures below

-7°C. If the tires have been subjected to

-7°C or less, warm them in a heated space

to at least 5°C for at least 24 hours before

installing them on a vehicle, or moving the

vehicle with the tires installed, or checking

tire inflation. Do not place tires near

heaters or heating devices used to warm

the room where the tires are stored. Do not

apply heat or blow heated air directly on

the tires. Always inspect the tires after

storage periods and before use.

USING SNOW CHAINS

WARNING

Snow tires must be the same size,

load index and speed rating as those

originally provided by Ford. Use of

any tire or wheel not recommended by

Ford can affect the safety and

performance of your vehicle, which could

result in an increased risk of loss of control,

vehicle rollover, personal injury and death.

Additionally, the use of non-recommended

tires and wheels can cause steering,

suspension, axle, transfer case or power

transfer unit failure. Follow the Ford

recommended tire inflation pressure found

on the Safety Compliance Certification

Label (on the door hinge pillar, door latch

post or the door edge that meets the door

latch post, next to the driver seat), or Tire

Label on the B-Pillar or the edge of the

driver door. Failure to follow the tire

pressure recommendations can cause

uneven treadwear patterns and adversely

affect the way your vehicle handles.

Note: Driving too fast for road conditions

creates the possibility of loss of vehicle

control. Driving at very high speeds for

extended periods of time may result in

damage to vehicle components.

The tires on your vehicle may have

all-weather treads to provide traction in

rain and snow. However, in some climates,

you may need to use snow tires and chains.

Use chains on the tires only in an

emergency or if the law requires them.

194

Mustang (CZG) Australia, Vehicles Built From: 07-08-2017, JR3J 19A321 ZAB enAUS, Edition date: 201709, Second Printing

Wheels and Tires

Note: The suspension insulation and

bumpers will help prevent vehicle damage.

Do not remove these components from your

vehicle when using snow tires and chains.

Follow these guidelines when using snow

tires and chains:

• If possible, avoid fully loading your

vehicle

• Chains may damage aluminum wheels.

• Use ultra low profile cables, 10 mm or

less in dimension as measured on the

sidewall of your tire, with 255/40R19

on the rear axle only.

• Do not use snow chains or cables with

275/40R19 tires.

• Not all S-class snow chains or cables

meet these restrictions. Chains of this

size restriction will include a tensioning

device.

• Purchase chains or cables from a

manufacturer that clearly labels body

to tire dimension restrictions. The snow

chains or cables must be mounted in

pairs on the front or the rear tires only.

• Do not exceed 50 km/h if

recommended by the chain

manufacturer while using snow chains.

• Install cables securely, verifying that

the cables do not touch any wiring,

brake lines or fuel lines.

• Drive cautiously. If you hear the cables

rub or bang against the vehicle, stop

and retighten them. If this does not

work, remove the cables to prevent

vehicle damage.

• Remove the tire chains when they are

no longer needed. Do not use tire

chains on dry roads.

If you have any questions regarding snow

chains or cables, please contact your

authorized dealer.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING

SYSTEM

WARNING

The tire pressure monitoring system

is not a substitute for manually

checking tire pressures. You should

periodically check tire pressures using a

pressure gauge. Failure to correctly

maintain tire pressures could increase the

risk of tire failure, loss of control, vehicle

rollover and personal injury.

Note: You should only use tire sealants in

roadside emergencies as they may cause

damage to the tire pressure monitoring

system sensor.

Note: If the tire pressure monitoring system

sensor becomes damaged, it may not

function.

Each tire, including the spare (if

provided), should be checked

monthly when cold and inflated

to the inflation pressure recommended by

the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle

placard or tire inflation pressure label. (If

your vehicle has tires of a different size

than the size indicated on the vehicle

placard or tire inflation pressure label, you

should determine the proper tire inflation

pressure for those tires).

As an added safety feature, your vehicle

has been equipped with a Tire Pressure

Monitoring System (TPMS) that

illuminates a low tire pressure telltale

when one or more of your tires is

significantly under-inflated. Accordingly,

when the low tire pressure telltale

illuminates, you should stop and check

your tires as soon as possible, and inflate

195

Mustang (CZG) Australia, Vehicles Built From: 07-08-2017, JR3J 19A321 ZAB enAUS, Edition date: 201709, Second Printing

Wheels and Tires

them to the proper pressure. Driving on a

significantly under-inflated tire causes the

tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure.

Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency

and tire tread life, and may affect the

vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.

Please note that the TPMS is not a

substitute for proper tire maintenance, and

it is the driver’s responsibility to maintain

correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation

has not reached the level to trigger

illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure

telltale.

Your vehicle has also been equipped with

a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate

when the system is not operating properly.

The TPMS malfunction indicator is

combined with the low tire pressure

telltale. When the system detects a

malfunction, the telltale will flash for

approximately one minute and then remain

continuously illuminated. This sequence

will continue upon subsequent vehicle

start-ups as long as the malfunction exists.

When the malfunction indicator is

illuminated, the system may not be able

to detect or signal low tire pressure as

intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur

for a variety of reasons, including the

installation of replacement or alternate

tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent

the TPMS from functioning properly.

Always check the TPMS malfunction

telltale after replacing one or more tires or

wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the

replacement or alternate tires and wheels

allow the TPMS to continue to function

properly.

Changing Tires With a Tire

Pressure Monitoring System

E142549

Note: Each road tire is equipped with a tire

pressure sensor located inside the wheel

and tire assembly cavity. The pressure

sensor is attached to the valve stem. The

pressure sensor is covered by the tire and is

not visible unless the tire is removed. Take

care when changing the tire to avoid

damaging the sensor.

You should always have your tires serviced

by an authorized dealer.

Check the tire pressure periodically (at

least monthly) using an accurate tire

gauge. See When Inflating Your Tires in

this chapter.

Changing Wheels With a Tire

Pressure Monitoring System

When changing the wheels of your vehicle,

the tire pressure monitoring system needs

to relearn the tire pressure sensors. To

achieve this perform the following:

1. Make sure all tires are inflated to the

proper pressure. If not, inflate the tires

to the correct pressure.

2. Park your vehicle for at least 20

minutes.

196

Mustang (CZG) Australia, Vehicles Built From: 07-08-2017, JR3J 19A321 ZAB enAUS, Edition date: 201709, Second Printing

Wheels and Tires

3. Carry out the tire pressure monitoring

system reset procedure. See Tire

Pressure Monitoring System Reset

Procedure later in this section.

4. The tire pressure monitoring system

automatically re-learns the tire

pressure sensors the next time your

drive your vehicle for approximately 15

minutes above 40 km/h.

Understanding Your Tire Pressure

Monitoring System

E250820

The tire pressure monitoring system

measures pressure in your road tires and

sends the tire pressure readings to your

vehicle. You can view the tire pressure

readings through the information display.

See General Information (page 66). The

low tire pressure warning light will turn on

if the tire pressure is significantly low. Once

the light is illuminated, your tires are

under-inflated and need to be inflated to

the manufacturer’s recommended tire

pressure. Even if the light turns on and a

short time later turns off, your tire pressure

still needs to be checked.

When Your Temporary Spare Tire is

Installed

When one of your road tires needs to be

replaced with the temporary spare, the

system will continue to identify an issue to

remind you that the damaged road wheel

and tire assembly needs to be repaired and

put back on your vehicle.

To restore the full function of the tire

pressure monitoring system, have the

damaged road wheel and tire assembly

repaired and remounted on your vehicle.

When You Believe Your System is Not

Operating Properly

The main function of the tire pressure

monitoring system is to warn you when

your tires need air. It can also warn you in

the event the system is no longer capable

of functioning as intended. See the

following chart for information concerning

your tire pressure monitoring system:

Wheels and Tires

How Temperature Affects Your Tire

Pressure

The tire pressure monitoring system

monitors tire pressure in each pneumatic

tire. While driving in a normal manner, a

typical passenger tire inflation pressure

may increase about 14–28 kPa from a cold

start situation. If the vehicle is stationary

overnight with the outside temperature

significantly lower than the daytime

temperature, the tire pressure may

decrease about 21 kPa for a drop of 30°F

(17°C) in ambient temperature. This lower

pressure value may be detected by the tire

pressure monitoring system as being

significantly lower than the recommended

inflation pressure and activate the system

warning light for low tire pressure. If the

low tire pressure warning light is on,

visually check each tire to verify that no tire

is flat. If one or more tires are flat, repair as

necessary. Check the air pressure in the

road tires. If any tire is under-inflated,

carefully drive the vehicle to the nearest

location where air can be added to the

tires. Inflate all the tires to the

recommended inflation pressure.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System

Reset Procedure

Overview

You must carry out the system reset

procedure after each tire replacement or

adjustment of the tire pressures.

To maintain your vehicle load carrying

capability, your vehicle may require

different tire pressures in the front

compared to the rear. In these cases, the

system illuminates the warning lamp at

different pressures for the front and rear

tires.

If the tires are rotated, you need to reset

the system in order to relearn the positions

of the tire pressure sensors. The system

cannot tell which position a tire pressure

sensor is in, and assumes you have set the

tire pressures correctly.

Performing the Reset Procedure

1. Switch the ignition on.

2. Navigate to the tire monitor menu in

the information display. See

Information Messages (page 69).

3. Press and hold the OK button until a

confirmation message appears. If your

vehicle has a tire pressure monitoring

system reset button, press and hold

the button until a confirmation

message appears.

CHANGING A ROAD WHEEL (If

Equipped)

WARNINGS

The use of tire sealant may damage

your tire pressure monitoring system

and should only be used in roadside

emergencies. If you must use a sealant, the

Ford Tire Mobility Kit sealant should be

used. The tire pressure monitoring system

sensor and valve stem on the wheel must

be replaced by an authorized dealer after

use of the sealant.

If the tire pressure monitor sensor

becomes damaged, it will no longer

function. See Tire Pressure

Monitoring System (page 195).

Note: The tire pressure monitoring system

indicator light will illuminate 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 the vehicle.

Wheels and Tires

If you get a flat tire while 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 tire serviced by an authorized

dealer in order to prevent damage to the

tire pressure monitoring system sensors.

See Tire Pressure Monitoring System

(page 195). Replace the spare tire with a

road tire as soon as possible. During

repairing or replacing of the flat tire, have

the authorized dealer inspect the tire

pressure monitoring 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. If the dissimilar spare tire or wheel

is damaged, it should be replaced rather

than repaired.

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

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 WHEEL AND

TIRE ASSEMBLY FOR TEMPORARY USE

ONLY.

When driving with one of the dissimilar

spare tires listed above, do not:

• Exceed 80 km/h.

• Load the vehicle beyond maximum

vehicle load rating listed on the Safety

Compliance Label.

• Use snow chains on the end of the

vehicle with the dissimilar spare tire.

• Use more than one dissimilar spare tire

at a time.

• Use commercial car washing

equipment.

• Try to repair the dissimilar spare tire.

Use of one of the dissimilar spare tires

listed above at any one wheel location can

lead to impairment of the following:

• Handling, stability and braking

performance.

• Comfort and noise.

• Ground clearance and parking at curbs.

• Winter weather driving capability.

• Wet weather driving capability.

• All-wheel driving capability.

3. Full-size dissimilar spare without

label on wheel

When driving with the full-size dissimilar

spare wheel and tire assembly, do not:

• Exceed 113 km/h.

• Use more than one dissimilar spare

wheel and tire assembly at a time.

• Use commercial car washing

equipment.
