FORD 2014 Fiesta v.1 - Manual (Page 213)

GENERAL INFORMATION
A decal with tire pressure data is located
in the driver’s door opening.
Check and set the tire pressure at the
ambient temperature in which you are
intending to drive your vehicle and when
the tires are cold.
Note: Check your tire pressures regularly to
optimize fuel economy.
Note: Use only approved wheel and tire
sizes. Using other sizes could damage your
vehicle and will make the National Type
Approval invalid.
Note: If you change the diameter of the tires
from that fitted at the factory, the
speedometer may not display the correct
speed. Take your vehicle to an authorized
dealer to have the engine management
system reprogrammed.
Note: If you intend to change the size of the
wheels from that fitted at the factory, check
the suitability with an authorized dealer.
TIRE CARE
Important information for 205/40R17
low-profile tires and wheels If your
vehicle is equipped with 205/40R17 tires,
they are low-profile tires. These tires and
wheels are designed to give your vehicle a
sport appearance. With low-profile tires,
you may notice an increase in road noise
and faster tire wear, depending on road
conditions and driving styles. Due to their
design, low-profile tires and wheels are
more prone to road damage from potholes,
rough or unpaved roads, car wash rails and
curb contact than standard tires and
wheels.
Note: Your vehicle’s warranty does not
cover these types of damage. Tires should
always be kept at the correct inflation
pressures and extra caution should be taken
when operating on rough roads to avoid
impacts that could cause wheel and tire
damage.
