WARNINGS

When inflating the tire for

mounting pressures up to 20 psi
(1.38 bar) greater than the

maximum pressure on the tire
sidewall, the following
precautions must be taken to
protect the person mounting the
tire:

1. Make sure that you have the
correct tire and wheel size.

2. Lubricate the tire bead and
wheel bead seat area again.

3. Stand at a minimum of 12 feet
(3.6 meters) away from the wheel

and tire assembly.

4. Use both eye and ear
protection.

For a mounting pressure more

than 20 psi (1.38 bar) greater than

the maximum pressure, a Ford

dealer or other tire service
professional should do the

mounting.

Always inflate steel carcass tires

with a remote air fill with the

person inflating standing at a

minimum of 12 feet (3.6 meters)

away from the wheel and tire
assembly

Important: Remember to replace
the wheel valve stems when the
road tires are replaced on your
vehicle

The two front tires or two rear tires

should generally be replaced as a

pair.

The tire pressure sensors mounted
in the wheels are not designed to
be used in aftermarket wheels.

The use of wheels or tires not
recommended by Ford Motor
Company may affect the
operation of your tire pressure
monitoring system.

If the tire pressure monitoring
system indicator is flashing, the
system is malfunctioning. Your
replacement tire might be

incompatible with your tire

pressure monitoring system, or

some component of the system
may be damaged.
