Treadwear

The treadwear grade

is a comparative rating based on
the wear rate of the tire when
tested under controlled conditions
on a specified government test
course. For example, a tire graded
150 would wear one and one-half
times as well on the government
course as a tire graded 100.

*

Traction:

The traction grades,

from highest to lowest are AA, A,
B, and C. The grades represent the
tire's ability to stop on wet
pavement as measured under
controlled conditions on specified
government test surfaces of
asphalt and concrete. A tire
marked C may have poor traction
performance.

*

Temperature:

The temperature

grades are A (the highest), B and
C, representing the tire's
resistance to the generation of
heat and its ability to dissipate
heat when tested under controlled
conditions on a specified indoor
laboratory test wheel.

M.

Maximum Inflation

Pressure:

Indicates the tire

manufacturers' maximum
permissible pressure or the
pressure at which the maximum
load can be carried by the tire. This
pressure is normally higher than
the vehicle manufacturer's
recommended cold inflation
pressure which can be found on
the Safety Compliance
Certification Label (affixed to
either the door hinge pillar,
door-latch post, or the door edge

that meets the door-latch post,
next to the driver's seating
position), or Tire Label which is
located on the B-Pillar or the edge
of the driver’s door. The cold
inflation pressure should never be
set lower than the recommended
pressure on the vehicle label.

The tire suppliers may have
additional markings, notes or
warnings such as standard load
or radial tubeless.

TIRE REPLACEMENT
REQUIREMENTS

Your vehicle comes with tires
designed to provide a safe ride
and handling capability.

WARNING:

Only use

replacement tires and wheels
that are the same size, load
index, speed rating and type
(such as P-metric versus
LT-metric or all-season versus
all-terrain) as those originally
provided by Ford. The
recommended tire and wheel
size may be found on either the
Safety Compliance Certification
Label (affixed to either the door
hinge pillar, door-latch post, or
the door edge that meets the
door-latch post, next to the
driver's seating position), or the
Tire Label which is located on
the B-Pillar or edge of the
driver's door. If this information
is not found on these labels, then
you should contact your
authorized dealer as soon as
possible. Use of any tire or wheel
not recommended by Ford can

affect the safety and
performance of your vehicle,
which could result in an
increased risk of loss of vehicle
control, vehicle rollover, personal
injury and death.

WARNING:

To reduce the

risk of serious injury, when
mounting replacement tires and
wheels, you should not exceed
the maximum pressure indicated
on the sidewall of the tire to set
the beads without additional
precautions listed below. If the
beads do not seat at the
maximum pressure indicated,
re-lubricate and try again.

WARNING:

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.

WARNING:

Always inflate

steel carcass tires with a remote
air fill with the person inflating
standing at a minimum of 12 ft
(3.66 m) away from the wheel
and tire assembly.

326

Wheel and Tire Information

WARNING:

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:

•

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

•

Lubricate the tire bead and
wheel bead seat area again.

•

Stand at a minimum of 12 ft
(3.66 m) away from the wheel
and tire assembly.

•

Use both eye and ear
protection.

Important:

Remember to replace

the wheel valve stems when you
replace the road tires on your
vehicle.

It is recommended that you
generally replace the two front
tires or two rear tires as a pair if
the worn tires still have usable
depth.

To avoid potential All-Wheel Drive
(AWD) malfunction or (AWD)
system damage, we recommend
you replace all four tires rather
than mixing significantly worn tires
with new tires.

The tire pressure sensors mounted
in the wheels (originally installed
on your vehicle) are not designed
to be used in aftermarket wheels.

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

If the tire pressure monitoring
system indicator is flashing, your
system is malfunctioning. Your
replacement tire might be
incompatible with your tire
pressure monitoring system, or
some component of the system
may be damaged.

Age

WARNING:

Tires degrade

over time depending on many
factors such as weather, storage
conditions, and conditions of use
(load, speed, inflation pressure)
the tires experience throughout
their lives.
In general, tires should be
replaced after six years
regardless of tread wear.
However, heat caused by hot
climates or frequent high loading
conditions can accelerate the
aging process and may require
tires to be replaced more
frequently.
You should replace your spare
tire when you replace the road
tires or after six years due to
aging even if it has not been
used.

327

Wheel and Tire Information

U.S. DOT Tire Identification
Number

Both United States and Canada
Federal regulations require tire
manufacturers to place
standardized information on the
sidewall of all tires. This
information identifies and
describes the fundamental
characteristics of the tire and also
provides a U.S. DOT Tire
Identification Number for safety
standard certification and in case
of a recall.

This begins with the letters DOT
and indicates that the tire meets
all federal standards. The next
two numbers or letters are the
plant code designating where it
was manufactured, the next two
are the tire size code and the last
four numbers represent the week
and year the tire was built. For
example, the numbers 317 mean
the 31st week of 1997. After 2000,
the numbers go to four digits. For
example, 2501 means the 25th
week of 2001. The numbers in
between are identification codes
used for traceability. This
information is used to contact
customers if a tire defect requires
a recall.

USING SUMMER TIRES

Summer tires provide superior
performance on wet and dry roads.
Summer tires do not have the Mud and
Snow (M+S or M/S) tire traction rating on
the tire side wall. Since summer tires do
not have the same traction performance
as All-season or Snow tires, we do not
recommend using summer tires when
temperatures drop to about 45°F (7°C) or
below, depending on tire wear and
environmental conditions, or in snow and
ice conditions. Like any tire, summer tire
performance is affected by tire wear and
environmental conditions. If you must drive
in those conditions, we recommend using
Mud and Snow (M+S, M/S), All-season or
Snow tires.

Always store your summer tires indoors at
temperatures above 19°F (-7°C). The
rubber compounds used in these tires lose
flexibility and may develop surface cracks
in the tread area at temperatures below
19°F (-7°C). If the tires have been
subjected to 19°F (-7°C) or less, warm
them in a heated space to at least 41°F
(5°C) for at least 24 hours before installing
them on a vehicle, or moving the vehicle
with the tires installed, or checking tire
inflation. Always inspect the tires after
storage periods and before use.

328

Wheel and Tire Information

USING WINTER TIRES

E278852

We recommend that you use winter or
all-season tires carrying this symbol when
the temperature is 45°F (7°C) or lower, or
in snow and ice conditions.

When using winter tires, install them on all
wheels and inflate them to the
recommended tire pressures listed on the
tire label. See

Locating the Safety

Compliance Certification Labels

(page

272).

WARNING:

Wheels and tires must

be the same size, load index and speed
rating as those originally fitted on the
vehicle. Use of any other tire or wheel
can affect the safety and performance
of your vehicle. Additionally, the use of
non-recommended tires and wheels can
cause steering, suspension, axle, transfer
case or power transfer unit failure.
Follow the recommended tire inflation
pressures found on the Safety
Compliance Certification label, or the
Tire Label on the B-Pillar or the edge of
the driver door. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in loss of vehicle
control, vehicle rollover, or personal injury
or death.

USING SNOW CHAINS

WARNING:

Do not exceed 30 mph

(50 km/h). Failure to follow this
instruction could result in the loss of
control of your vehicle, personal injury or
death.

WARNING:

Do not use snow chains

on snow-free roads.

WARNING:

Only fit snow chains to

specified tires.

WARNING:

If your vehicle is fitted

with wheel trims, remove them before
fitting snow chains.

WARNING:

Remember that even

advanced technology cannot defy the
laws of physics. It's always possible to
lose control of a vehicle due to
inappropriate driver input for the
conditions. Aggressive driving on any
road condition can cause you to lose
control of your vehicle increasing the risk
of personal injury or property damage.
Activation of the electronic stability
control system is an indication that at
least some of the tires have exceeded
their ability to grip the road; this could
reduce the operator's ability to control
the vehicle potentially resulting in a loss
of vehicle control, vehicle rollover,
personal injury and death. If your
electronic stability control system
activates, SLOW DOWN.

WARNING:

Wheels and tires must

be the same size, load index and speed
rating as those originally fitted on the
vehicle. Use of any other tire or wheel
can affect the safety and performance
of your vehicle. Additionally, the use of
non-recommended tires and wheels can
cause steering, suspension, axle, transfer

329

Wheel and Tire Information

case or power transfer unit failure.
Follow the recommended tire inflation
pressures found on the Safety
Compliance Certification label, or the
Tire Label on the B-Pillar or the edge of
the driver door. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in loss of vehicle
control, vehicle rollover, or personal injury
or death.

The tires on your vehicle could have
all-weather treads to provide traction in
rain and snow. In some climates you will
need to use snow tires and chains on your
vehicle in emergency situations or if
required by law.

Note:

The suspension insulation and

bumpers will help prevent vehicle damage.
Do not remove these components from your
vehicle when using snow tires and chains.

Note:

Driving too fast for road conditions

creates the possibility of loss of vehicle
control. Driving at very high speeds for
extended periods of time may result in
damage to vehicle components.

Note:

Snow chains could damage

aluminum wheels.

Follow these guidelines when using snow
tires and chains:

•

Use ultra low profile cables, 10 mm or
less in dimension as measured on the
sidewall of your tire, only with
225/60R18 all season tires.

•

Do not use snow chains or cables with
225/55R19 or 245/45R20.

•

Not all S-class snow chains or cables
meet the same restrictions. Chains of
this size restriction will include a
tensioning device.

•

Purchase chains or cables from a
manufacturer that clearly labels body
to tire dimension restrictions. The snow
chains or cables must be mounted in
pairs on the rear tires only.

•

When driving with snow chains do not
exceed 30 mph (50 km/h) or the
maximum speed recommended by the
chain manufacturer, whichever is less.

•

Install cables securely, verifying that
the cables do not touch any wiring or
brake lines.

•

Drive cautiously. If you hear the cables
rub or bang against the vehicle, stop
and retighten them. If this does not
work, remove the cables to prevent
vehicle damage.

•

Remove the tire chains when they are
no longer needed. Do not use tire
chains on dry roads.

If you have any questions regarding snow
chains or cables, please contact your
authorized dealer.

330

Wheel and Tire Information

CHECKING THE TIRE
PRESSURES

Safe operation of your vehicle
requires that your tires are
properly inflated. Every day before
you drive, check your tires.

At least once a month and before
long trips, inspect each tire and
check the tire pressure with a tire
gauge. Inflate all tires to the
recommended inflation pressure.
See

Inflating the Tires

(page

331).

INFLATING THE TIRES

WARNING:

Under-inflation

is the most common cause of
tire failures and may result in
severe tire cracking, tread
separation or blowout, with
unexpected loss of vehicle
control and increased risk of
injury. Under-inflation increases
sidewall flexing and rolling
resistance, resulting in heat
buildup and internal damage to
the tire. It also may result in
unnecessary tire stress, irregular
wear, loss of vehicle control and
accidents. A tire can lose up to
half of its air pressure and not
appear to be flat!

WARNING:

Do not use the

tire pressure displayed in the
information display as a tire
pressure gauge. Failure to follow
this instruction could result in
personal injury or death.

Use the recommended cold
inflation pressure for optimum tire
performance and wear.
Under-inflation or over-inflation

may cause uneven treadwear
patterns.

Inflate your tires to the
recommended inflation pressure
even if it is less than the maximum
inflation pressure information
found on the tire. You can find the
tire label with the recommended
tire inflation pressure next to the
tire size on the B-Pillar or the edge
of the driver door.

The recommended tire inflation
pressure is also found on the
Safety Compliance Certification
Label, affixed to either the door
hinge pillar, door-latch post, or the
door edge that meets the
door-latch on the B-pillar, or on
the edge of the driver door.

Failure to follow the tire pressure
recommendations can cause
uneven treadwear patterns and
adversely affect the way your
vehicle handles.

331

Tire Care

INSPECTING THE TIRE FOR
WEAR

E142546

When the tread is worn down to
one sixteenth of an inch (2 mm),
tires must be replaced to help
prevent your vehicle from skidding
and hydroplaning. Built-in
treadwear indicators, or wear bars,
which look like narrow strips of
smooth rubber across the tread
will appear on the tire when the
tread is worn down to one
sixteenth of an inch (2 mm).

When the tire tread wears down
to the same height as these wear
bars, the tire is worn out and must
be replaced.

The tires should also be balanced
periodically. An unbalanced tire
and wheel assembly may result in
irregular tire wear.

Periodically inspect the tire treads
for uneven or excessive wear and
remove objects such as stones,
nails or glass that may be wedged
in the tread grooves.

INSPECTING THE TIRE FOR
DAMAGE

Inspect the tire sidewalls for
cracking, cuts, bruises and other
signs of damage or excessive
wear. If internal damage to the tire
is suspected, have the tire
dismounted and inspected in case
it needs to be repaired or replaced.
For your safety, tires that are
damaged or show signs of
excessive wear should not be used
because they are more likely to
blow out or fail.

Periodically inspect the tire treads
and sidewalls for damage, such
as bulges in the tread or sidewalls,
cracks in the tread groove and
separation in the tread or sidewall.
If damage is observed or
suspected, have the tire inspected
by a tire professional.

Safety Practices

WARNING:

If your vehicle

is stuck in snow, mud or sand, do
not rapidly spin the tires;
spinning the tires can tear the
tire and cause an explosion. A
tire can explode in as little as
three to five seconds.

WARNING:

Do not spin the

wheels at over 34 mph
(55 km/h). The tires may fail and
injure a passenger or bystander.

332

Tire Care

Highway Hazards

No matter how carefully you drive,
there is always the possibility that
you could eventually have a flat
tire on the highway. Drive slowly
to the closest safe area out of
traffic. This could further damage
the flat tire, but your safety is
more important.

If you feel a sudden vibration or
ride disturbance while driving, or
you suspect your tire or vehicle
has been damaged, immediately
reduce your speed. Drive with
caution until you can safely pull
off the road. Stop and inspect the
tires for damage. If a tire is
under-inflated or damaged,
deflate it, remove the wheel and
replace it with your spare tire and
wheel. If you cannot detect a
cause, have the vehicle towed to
the nearest repair facility or tire
dealer to have the vehicle
inspected.

Tire and Wheel Alignment

A bad jolt from hitting a curb or
pothole can cause the front end
of your vehicle to become
misaligned or cause damage to
your tires. If your vehicle seems to
pull to one side when you are
driving, the wheels could be out of
alignment. Have an authorized
dealer check the wheel alignment
periodically.

Wheel misalignment in the front
or the rear can cause uneven and
rapid treadwear of your tires and
should be corrected by an
authorized dealer.

INSPECTING THE WHEEL
VALVE STEMS

Check the valve stems for holes,
cracks, or cuts that could permit
air leakage.

TIRE ROTATION

WARNING:

If the tire label

shows different tire pressures for
the front and rear tires and the
vehicle has a tire pressure
monitoring system, then you
need to update the settings for
the system sensors. Always
perform the system reset
procedure after tire rotation. If
you do not reset the system, it
may not provide a low tire
pressure warning when
necessary.

Rotating your tires at the
recommended interval will help
your tires wear more evenly,
providing better tire performance
and longer tire life.

Note:

If your tires show any uneven

wear have the alignment checked
by an authorized dealer before
rotating tires.

333

Tire Care

Note:

If you have a dissimilar spare

wheel and tire assembly, it is
intended for temporary use only
and should not be used in a tire
rotation.

Note:

After having your tires

rotated, inflation pressure must be
checked and adjusted to the
vehicle requirements.

Tire Rotation Diagram

Follow the diagram indicating the
correct tire locations for rotating
the tires.

WHAT IS THE TIRE SEALANT
AND INFLATOR KIT

The kit consists of an air compressor to
re-inflate the tire and a canister of sealing
compound that effectively seals most
punctures. This kit provides a temporary
tire repair allowing you to drive your vehicle
up to 120 mi (200 km) at a maximum
speed of 50 mph (80 km/h) to reach a tire
service location.

TIRE SEALANT AND INFLATOR
KIT PRECAUTIONS

WARNING:

Depending on the type

and extent of tire damage, some tires
can only be partially sealed or not sealed
at all. Loss of tire pressure can affect
vehicle handling, leading to loss of
vehicle control.

WARNING:

Do not use the kit on a

previously damaged tire, for example
when it has been driven under inflated.
This could cause loss of vehicle control,
personal injury or death.

Do not attempt to repair punctures larger
than 0.24 in (6 mm) or damage to the tire's
sidewall.

Only punctures located within the tire
tread can be sealed with the kit.

Only use the kit supplied with your vehicle.

The temporary mobility kit contains
enough sealant compound in the canister
for one tire repair only.

After using the sealant, an authorized
dealer needs to replace the tire pressure
monitoring system sensor and valve stem
on the wheel.

LOCATING THE TIRE SEALANT

USING THE TIRE SEALANT
AND INFLATOR KIT

Tips for use of the kit

To ensure safe operation of the kit:

•

Before operating the kit, make sure
your vehicle is safely off the road and
away from moving traffic.

•

Do not remove any foreign objects,
such as nails or screws, from the tire.

•

Do not allow the compressor to
operate continuously for more than 15
minutes. This will help prevent the
compressor from overheating.

•

Only use the kit when the ambient
temperature is between -22°F (-30°C)
and 158°F (70°C).

•

Only use the sealing compound before
the use-by date. The use-by date is on
a label on the sealant canister and can
be seen through the rectangular
viewing window on the bottom of the
compressor. Check the use-by date
regularly and replace the canister when
the sealant expires.

Note:

Sealant compound contains latex.

Use appropriate precautions to avoid any
allergic reactions.

E175978

When inflation only is required
for a tire or other objects, the
selector must be in the Air

position.

What to do when a tire is punctured

A tire puncture within the tire's tread area
can be repaired in two stages with the kit.

•

In the first stage, the tire will be
reinflated with a sealing compound
and air. After the tire has been inflated,
you will need to drive the vehicle a
short distance approximately 4 mi
(6 km) to distribute the sealant in the
tire.

•

In the second stage, you will need to
check the tire pressure and adjust, if
necessary, to the vehicle's specified
tire inflation pressure.

First Stage: Reinflating the Tire
with sealing compound and air

WARNING:

Do not stand directly

over the kit while inflating the tire. If you
notice any unusual bulges or
deformations in the tire's sidewall during
inflation, stop and call roadside
assistance.

WARNING:

If the tire does not

inflate to the recommended tire pressure
within 15 minutes, stop and call roadside
assistance.

Park the vehicle in a safe, level and secure
area, away from moving traffic.

Turn the hazard lights on. Apply the parking
brake and power off the vehicle. Inspect
the flat tire for visible damage.

If a puncture is located in the tire sidewall,
stop and call roadside assistance.

1.

8. When the recommended tire pressure

is reached, turn off the kit, unplug the
power cable, and disconnect the hose
from the tire valve. Re-install the valve
cap on the tire valve and return the kit
to the rear of the vehicle.

9. Drive the vehicle 4 mi (6 km) to

distribute the sealant evenly inside the
tire.

Note:

If you experience any unusual

vibration, ride disturbance or noise while
driving, reduce your speed until you can
safely pull off to the side of the road to call
for roadside assistance. Do not proceed to
the second stage of this operation.

Second Stage: Checking the tire
pressure with the inflator kit

WARNING:

If the tire does not

inflate to the recommended tire pressure
within 15 minutes, stop and call roadside
assistance.

WARNING:

The power plug may

get hot after use and should be handled
carefully when unplugging.

Check the air pressure of your tires as
