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 is not recommended and may damage
your tires.

Dissimilar spare tire/wheel information

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 tire/wheel, 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 tire/wheel 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 tire/wheel is defined as a spare tire and/or wheel 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 TIRE AND WHEEL FOR
TEMPORARY USE ONLY”

When driving with one of the dissimilar spare tires listed above, do not:
•

Exceed 50 mph (80 km/h)

•

Load the vehicle beyond maximum vehicle load rating listed on the
Safety Compliance Label

•

Tow a trailer

•

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

For vehicles equipped with 4WD, it is not recommended that the vehicle
be operated in 4WD modes with a temporary emergency spare tire. If
4WD operation is necessary, do not operate above speeds of 10 mph (16
km/h) or for distances above 50 miles (80 km).

3. Full-size dissimilar spare without label on wheel

When driving with the full-size dissimilar spare tire/wheel, do not:
•

Exceed 70 mph (113 km/h)

•

Use more than one dissimilar spare tire/wheel at a time

•

Use commercial car washing equipment

•

Use snow chains on the end of the vehicle with the dissimilar spare
tire/wheel

The usage of a full-size dissimilar spare tire/wheel 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 (if applicable)

•

Load leveling adjustment (if applicable)

When driving with the full-size dissimilar spare tire/wheel additional
caution should be given to:
•

Towing a trailer

•

Driving vehicles equipped with a camper body

•

Driving vehicles with a load on the cargo rack

Drive cautiously when using a full-size dissimilar spare tire/wheel and
seek service as soon as possible.

Never use the rear differential
as a jacking point.

To lessen the risk of
personal injury, do not put

any part of your body under the
vehicle while changing a tire. Do
not start the engine when your
vehicle is on the jack. The jack is
only meant for changing the tire.

6. Remove the lug nuts with the lug wrench.

7. Replace the flat tire with the spare tire, making sure the valve stem is
facing outward. Reinstall lug nuts until the wheel is snug against the hub.
Do not fully tighten the lug nuts until the wheel has been lowered.

8. Lower the wheel by turning the jack handle counterclockwise.

9. Remove the jack and fully tighten
the lug nuts in the order shown.
Refer to Wheel lug nut torque
specifications later in this chapter
for the proper lug nut torque
specification.

10. Put flat tire, jack and lug wrench
away. Make sure jack is fastened so
it does not rattle when you drive.

11. Unblock the wheels.

WHEEL LUG NUT TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS

Retighten the lug nuts to the specified torque at 500 miles (800 km)
after any wheel disturbance (tire rotation, changing a flat tire, wheel
removal, etc.).

When a wheel is installed, always remove any corrosion, dirt or
foreign materials present on the mounting surfaces of the wheel

or the surface of the wheel hub, brake drum or brake disc that
contacts the wheel. Ensure that any fasteners that attach the rotor to
the hub are secured so they do not interfere with the mounting
surfaces of the wheel. Installing wheels without correct metal-to-metal
contact at the wheel mounting surfaces can cause the wheel nuts to
loosen and the wheel to come off while the vehicle is in motion,
resulting in loss of control.

JUMP STARTING

The gases around the battery can explode if exposed to flames,
sparks, or lit cigarettes. An explosion could result in injury or

vehicle damage.

Batteries contain sulfuric acid which can burn skin, eyes and
clothing, if contacted.

Do not attempt to push-start your vehicle. Automatic
transmissions do not have push-start capability; doing so may
damage the catalytic converter.

Preparing your vehicle

Your battery is located in the trunk of your vehicle.

When the battery is disconnected or a new battery is installed, the
transmission must relearn its shift strategy. As a result, the transmission
may have firm and/or soft shifts. This operation is considered normal and
will not affect function or durability of the transmission. Over time, the
adaptive learning process will fully update transmission operation to its
optimum shift feel.

1. Use only a 12–volt supply to start your vehicle.

2. Do not disconnect the battery of your disabled vehicle as this could
damage the vehicle’s electrical system. Keep the battery vent hose
attached at all times.

3. Park the booster vehicle close to the trunk of your disabled vehicle
making sure the two vehicles do not touch. Set the parking brake on
both vehicles and stay clear of the engine cooling fan and other moving
parts.

4. Check all battery terminals and remove any excessive corrosion before
you attach the battery cables. Ensure the vent caps are tight and level.

5. Turn the heater fan on in both vehicles to protect any electrical
surges. Turn all other accessories off.

Connecting the jumper cables

1. Connect the positive (+) jumper cable to the positive (+) terminal of
the discharged battery.

Note: In the illustrations, lightning bolts are used to designate the
assisting (boosting) battery.

2. Connect the other end of the positive (+) cable to the positive (+)
terminal of the assisting battery.

4. Make the final connection of the negative (-) cable to the spare tire
tie-down stud. (Your vehicle may be equipped with a plastic cap on top
of the tire tie-down stud. This cap must be removed prior to attaching
the cable to the stud.)

Do not connect the end of the second cable to the negative (-)
terminal of the battery to be jumped. A spark may cause an

explosion of the gases that surround the battery.

5. Ensure that the cables are clear of fan blades, belts, moving parts of
both engines, or any fuel delivery system parts.

Jump starting

1. Start the engine of the booster vehicle and run the engine at
moderately increased speed.

2. Start the engine of the disabled vehicle.

3. Once the disabled vehicle has been started, run both engines for an
additional three minutes before disconnecting the jumper cables.

GETTING THE SERVICES YOU NEED

perform all warranty repairs. This means that, depending on the
warranty repair needed, you may have to take your vehicle to another
authorized dealer. A reasonable time must be allowed to perform a repair
after taking your vehicle to the authorized dealer. Repairs will be made
using Ford or Motorcraft parts, or remanufactured or other parts that are
authorized by Ford.
