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.

5. Remove the lug nuts with the lug wrench.

6. 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.

If you are using the temporary tire, the lug nut
washers will not appear to be flush with the rim. This
is normal only when using the temporary spare tire.

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

8. Remove the jack and
fully tighten the lug nuts
in the order shown.

9. Put flat tire, wheel
ornament (if equipped),
jack and lug wrench
away. Make sure jack is
fastened so it does not rattle when you drive.

10. Unblock the wheels.

Anti-theft lug nuts (if equipped)

If your vehicle is equipped with this feature, one of
the lug nuts on each wheel must be removed and
replaced with a special key. The key and registration
card are attached to the lug wrench and stored with
the spare tire. If you lose the key, send the
registration card to the manufacturer (not the
dealer) to get a replacement key. If the lug
wrench/lug nut key assembly is lost, see your
nearest Ford or Lincoln Mercury dealer who has
access to the master set of keys. Do not use an
impact wrench with the anti-theft key.
