CHANGING THE 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.

Note: If your vehicle is equipped with the tire pressure monitoring
system (TPMS), the indicator light will illuminate when the spare tire is
in use. To restore the full functionality of the monitoring system, all road
wheels equipped with tire pressure monitoring sensors must be mounted
on the vehicle.

If your vehicle is equipped with TPMS, have a flat serviced by an
authorized dealer in order to prevent damage to the TPMS sensors, refer
to Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) in the Tires, Wheels and
Loading
chapter.

The use of tire sealants may damage your tires. The use of tire
sealants may also damage your Tire Pressure Monitoring System

and should not be used.

Refer to Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) in the
Tires, Wheels and Loading chapter for important information.

If the tire pressure monitor sensor becomes damaged, it will no longer
function.

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.
