Tire Change Procedure

WARNINGS

When one of the front wheels is off the
ground, the transmission alone will not

prevent the vehicle from moving or slipping
off the jack, even if the transmission is in park
(P).

WARNINGS

To help prevent your vehicle from
moving when changing a wheel, shift

the transmission into park (P), set the parking
brake and use an appropriate block or wheel
chock to secure the wheel diagonally
opposite to the wheel being changed. For
example, when changing the front left wheel,
place an appropriate block or wheel chock
on the right rear wheel.

Do not get under a vehicle that is only
supported by a vehicle jack.

Do not attempt to change a tire on the
side of the vehicle close to moving

traffic. Pull far enough off the road to avoid
the danger of being hit when operating the
jack or changing the wheel.

Always use the jack provided as
original equipment with your vehicle.

If using a jack other than the one provided,
make sure the jack capacity is adequate for
the vehicle weight, including any vehicle
cargo or modifications. If you are unsure if
the jack capacity is adequate, contact the
authorized dealer.

Note: Passengers should not remain in your
vehicle when the vehicle is being jacked.

1. Park on a level surface, set the parking

brake and activate the hazard flashers.

2. Place the transmission in park (P) and

turn the engine off.

E175447

3. Block both the front and rear of the wheel

diagonally opposite the flat tire. For
example, if the left front tire is flat, block
the right rear wheel.

4. Lift and remove the carpeted load floor

panel to access the mini-spare and jack
kit.

5. Remove the steel winged washer nut

securing the spare tire by turning it
counterclockwise.

6. Remove the spare tire from the spare tire

compartment.

7. Remove plastic wing nut and jack and

lug wrench assembly. Detach lug wrench
from jack by turning the jack hex nut
drive screw counterclockwise.

8. Loosen each wheel lug nut one-half turn

counterclockwise, but do not remove
them until the wheel is raised off the
ground.

E242877

9. The vehicle jacking points are depicted

by arrows on the underside of the vehicle
at the locations shown above.

E201100

10.

Find the arrows embossed on the
vehicle downward flange next to the
tire you are changing. Position the jack
so that the vehicle downward flange
rests in the jack saddle flange between
the arrows, as shown above.  Raise the
vehicle by using the lug wrench to turn
the jack nut clockwise.  Once the flat
tire is raised above the ground, remove
the lug nuts with the lug wrench.

11.

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

12.

Lower the wheel by turning the jack
handle counterclockwise.

14.

Fold up the wrench/jack handle and
re-attach to the jack. Re-position
jack/wrench assembly into the original
vehicle position and secure with the
plastic wing nut. Make sure the jack is
fastened securely before you drive.

15.

Unblock the wheel.

Stowing the flat tire

You cannot store the full-sized road wheel
in the temporary spare tire well.

1. Find the flat tire retainer strap tucked

inside the jack channel. Lower the
carpeted load floor.

2. Stow the flat tire in the cargo area on the

load floor with the wheel facing up.
Secure the flat tire with the retainer strap
by following the next steps.

E142906

3. Locate the rear left side and right side

cargo tie-down rings. Push the loop end
of the retainer strap through one cargo
tie-down ring. Thread the non-loop end
through the loop.

4. Weave the retainer strap through the

wheel openings.

5. Locate the cargo tie-down in the opposite

rear corner of the cargo area. Thread the
retainer strap though the tie-down and
pull tight.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

Wheel Lug Nut Torque Specifications

WARNING

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. Make sure 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 your vehicle is in motion, resulting in loss
of control.

*Torque specifications are for nut and bolt threads free of dirt and rust. Use only Ford recommended replacement fasteners.

Retighten the lug nuts to the specified torque within 100 miles (160 kilometers) after any wheel disturbance (such as tire rotation, changing a
flat tire, wheel removal).
