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.

• Use snow chains on the end of the

vehicle with the dissimilar spare wheel

and tire assembly.
