Lincoln Corsair (2022 year). Manual in english — page 27

To check the pressure in your tire(s):

1. Make sure the tires are cool,

meaning they are not hot from
driving even a mile.

Note: If you are checking tire pressure
when the tire is hot, (for example, driven
more than 1 mi (1.6 km), never bleed or
reduce air pressure. The tires are hot
from driving and it is normal for
pressures to increase above
recommended cold pressures. A hot tire
at or below recommended cold inflation
pressure could be significantly
under-inflated.

Note: If you have to drive a distance to
get air for your tire(s), check and record
the tire pressure first and add the
appropriate air pressure when you get
to the pump. It is normal for tires to heat
up and the air pressure inside to go up
as you drive.

2. Remove the cap from the valve on

one tire, then firmly press the tire
gauge onto the valve and measure
the pressure.

3. Add enough air to reach the

recommended air pressure.

Note: If you overfill the tire, release air
by pressing on the metal stem in the
center of the valve. Then recheck the
pressure with your tire gauge.

4. Replace the valve cap.
5. Repeat this procedure for each tire,

including the spare.

Note: Some spare tires operate at a
higher inflation pressure than the other
tires. For T type mini-spare tires, see the
Dissimilar spare wheel and tire
assembly information for a description.
Store and maintain at 60 psi (4.15 bar).
For full-size and dissimilar spare tires,
see the Dissimilar spare wheel and tire
assembly information for a description.
Store and maintain at the higher of the
front and rear inflation pressure as
shown on the Tire Label.

6. Visually inspect the tires to make

sure there are no nails or other
objects embedded that could poke
a hole in the tire and cause an air
leak.

7. Check the sidewalls to make sure

there are no gouges, cuts or bulges.

Inspecting Your Tires and Wheel Valve
Stems

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. Check the tire and valve stems
for holes, cracks, or cuts that may permit
air leakage and repair or replace the tire
and replace the valve stem. 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 demounted 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.

440

Wheels and Tires

Improper or inadequate vehicle
maintenance can cause tires to wear
abnormally. Inspect all your tires,
including the spare, frequently, and
replace them if one or more of the
following conditions exist:

Tire 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.

Damage

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. Tires can be damaged
during off-road use, so inspection after
off-road use is also recommended.

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.

Wheels and Tires

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.

Tire Replacement Requirements

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

WARNING: Do not use

replacement tires with lower load
carrying capacities than the original
tires because they may lower your
vehicle's GVWR and GAWR limitations.
Replacement tires with a higher limit
than the original tires do not increase
the GVWR and GAWR limitations.

WARNING: Replace the wheels

and tires with the exact original brand,
size and construction that came
originally on your vehicle. Use of any
other wheel or tire combinations, even
with identical size ratings, may result

in insufficient running clearances, tire
rubbing and eventual puncture. Failure
to follow tire replacement
recommendations can lead to tire
failure, loss of vehicle control, serious
injury or death.

WARNING: The use of

non-recommended tires and wheels
could cause steering, suspension, axle,
transfer case or power transfer unit
failure. If you have questions regarding
tire replacement, contact your
authorized dealer as soon as possible.

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.

442

Wheels and Tires

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 12.0 ft (3.66 m)
away from the wheel and tire
assembly.

•

Use both eye and ear protection.

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.

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

It is recommended that the two front
tires or two rear tires generally be
replaced as a pair.

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 by us, 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.

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.

Driving habits have a great deal to do
with your tire mileage and safety.

*Observe posted speed limits

*Avoid fast starts, stops and turns

*Avoid potholes and objects on the road

*Do not run over curbs or hit the tire
against a curb when parking

Highway Hazards

No matter how carefully you drive, there
is always the possibility that you may
eventually have a flat tire on the
highway. Drive slowly to the closest safe
area out of traffic. This may 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 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 may 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.
Front-wheel drive vehicles and those
with an independent rear suspension (if
equipped) may require alignment of all
four wheels.

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

Tire Rotation

Note: If your tires show uneven wear,
ask an authorized dealer to check for
and correct any wheel misalignment,
tire imbalance or mechanical problem
involved before tire rotation.

Note: Your vehicle may be equipped
with a dissimilar spare wheel and tire
assembly. A dissimilar spare wheel and
tire assembly is defined as a spare
wheel and tire assembly that is different
in brand, size or appearance from the
road tires and wheels. 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.

444

Wheels and Tires

Rotating your tires at the recommended
interval will help your tires wear more
evenly, providing better tire performance
and longer tire life. Sometimes irregular
tire wear can be corrected by rotating
the tires.

USING SNOW CHAINS

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.

The tires on your vehicle have all-weather
treads to provide traction in rain and snow.
However, in some climates, you may need
to use snow tires and cables. If you need to
use cables, it is recommended that steel
wheels of the same size and specifications
be used, as cables may chip aluminum
wheels.

Follow these guidelines when using snow
tires and traction devices:

•

If possible, avoid fully loading your
vehicle.

•

Purchase chains or cables from a
manufacturer that clearly labels body to
tire dimension restrictions.

•

Use 10 mm cables or chains only on front
axle with 225/60R18 tires.

445

Wheels and Tires

•

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

•

The snow chains or cables must be
mounted in pairs on the front axle.

•

Do not use chains or cables on
225/55R19, and 245/45R20 tires.

•

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

•

When driving with tire cables do not
exceed 29.8 mph (48 km/h) or the
maximum speed recommended by the
chain manufacturer, whichever is less.

•

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 cables when they are no
longer needed. Do not use cables on dry
roads.

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

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM

WARNING: The tire pressure

monitoring system is not a substitute
for manually checking tire pressures.
You should periodically check tire
pressures using a pressure gauge.
Failure to correctly maintain tire
pressures could increase the risk of
tire failure, loss of control, vehicle
rollover and personal injury.

Note: You should only use tire sealants
in roadside emergencies as they may
cause damage to the tire pressure
monitoring system sensor.

Note: If the tire pressure monitoring
system sensor becomes damaged, it
may not function.

Each tire, including the spare
(if provided), should be
checked monthly when cold

and inflated to the inflation pressure
recommended by the vehicle
manufacturer on the vehicle placard or
tire inflation pressure label. (If your
vehicle has tires of a different size than
the size indicated on the vehicle placard
or tire inflation pressure label, you
should determine the proper tire
inflation pressure for those tires).

As an added safety feature, your vehicle
has been equipped with a Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) that
illuminates a low tire pressure telltale
when one or more of your tires is
significantly under-inflated. Accordingly,
when the low tire pressure telltale
illuminates, you should stop and check
your tires as soon as possible, and
inflate them to the proper pressure.

446

Wheels and Tires

Driving on a significantly under-inflated
tire causes the tire to overheat and can
lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also
reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life,
and may affect the vehicle’s handling
and stopping ability.

Please note that the TPMS is not a
substitute for proper tire maintenance,
and it is the driver’s responsibility to
maintain correct tire pressure, even if
under-inflation has not reached the level
to trigger illumination of the TPMS low
tire pressure telltale.

Your vehicle has also been equipped
with a TPMS malfunction indicator to
indicate when the system is not
operating properly. The TPMS
malfunction indicator is combined with
the low tire pressure telltale. When the
system detects a malfunction, the telltale
will flash for approximately one minute
and then remain continuously
illuminated. This sequence will continue
upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as
long as the malfunction exists.

When the malfunction indicator is
illuminated, the system may not be able
to detect or signal low tire pressure as
intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur
for a variety of reasons, including the
installation of replacement or alternate
tires or wheels on the vehicle that
prevent the TPMS from functioning
properly. Always check the TPMS
malfunction telltale after replacing one
or more tires or wheels on your vehicle
to ensure that the replacement or
alternate tires and wheels allow the
TPMS to continue to function properly.

This device complies with Part 15 of the
FCC Rules and with License exempt RSS
Standards of Industry Canada. Operation
is subject to the following two
conditions:

1. This device may not cause harmful

interference, and

2. This device must accept any

interference received, including
interference that may cause
undesired operation.

WARNING: Changes or

modifications not expressively
approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user's
authority to operate the equipment.
The term "IC:" before the radio
certification number only signifies that
Industry Canada technical
specifications were met.

Changing Tires With a Tire Pressure
Monitoring System

E142549

447

Wheels and Tires

Note: Each road tire is equipped with a
tire pressure sensor located inside the
wheel and tire assembly cavity. The
pressure sensor is attached to the valve
stem. The pressure sensor is covered
by the tire and is not visible unless the
tire is removed. Take care when
changing the tire to avoid damaging the
sensor.

You should always have your tires
serviced by an authorized dealer.

Check the tire pressure periodically (at
least monthly) using an accurate tire
gauge. See When Inflating Your Tires
in this chapter.

Understanding Your Tire Pressure
Monitoring System

E250820

The tire pressure monitoring system
measures pressure in your road tires
and sends the tire pressure readings to
your vehicle. You can view the tire
pressure readings through the
information display. See General
Information (page 136). The low tire
pressure warning light will turn on if the
tire pressure is significantly low. Once

the light is illuminated, your tires are
under-inflated and need to be inflated
to the manufacturer’s recommended tire
pressure. Even if the light turns on and
a short time later turns off, your tire
pressure still needs to be checked.

When Your Temporary Spare Tire is
Installed

When one of your road tires needs to
be replaced with the temporary spare,
the system will continue to identify an
issue to remind you that the damaged
road wheel and tire assembly needs to
be repaired and put back on your
vehicle.

To restore the full function of the tire
pressure monitoring system, have the
damaged road wheel and tire assembly
repaired and remounted on your vehicle.

448

Wheels and Tires

When You Believe Your System is Not
Operating Properly

The main function of the tire pressure
monitoring system is to warn you when
your tires need air. It can also warn you

in the event the system is no longer
capable of functioning as intended. See
the following chart for information
concerning your tire pressure monitoring
system:

When Inflating Your Tires

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.

When putting air into your tires (such as
at a gas station or in your garage), the
tire pressure monitoring system may not
respond immediately to the air added
to your tires.

It may take up to two minutes of driving
over 20 mph (32 km/h) for the light to

turn off after you have filled your tires to
the recommended inflation pressure.

How Temperature Affects Your Tire
Pressure

The tire pressure monitoring system
monitors tire pressure in each pneumatic
tire. While driving in a normal manner, a
typical passenger tire inflation pressure

may increase about 2–4 psi (14–28 kPa)
from a cold start situation. If the vehicle
is stationary overnight with the outside
temperature significantly lower than the
daytime temperature, the tire pressure
may decrease about 3 psi (21 kPa) for a
drop of 30°F (17°C) in ambient
temperature. This lower pressure value
may be detected by the tire pressure
monitoring system as being significantly
lower than the recommended inflation
pressure and activate the system
warning light for low tire pressure. If the
low tire pressure warning light is on,
visually check each tire to verify that no
tire is flat. If one or more tires are flat,

repair as necessary. Check the air
pressure in the road tires. If any tire is
under-inflated, carefully drive the vehicle
to the nearest location where air can be
added to the tires. Inflate all the tires to
the recommended inflation pressure.

CHANGING A ROAD WHEEL

(IF

EQUIPPED)

WARNING: The tire pressure

monitoring system is not a substitute for
manually checking tire pressures. You
should periodically check tire pressures
using a pressure gauge. Failure to correctly
maintain tire pressures could increase the
risk of tire failure, loss of control, vehicle
rollover and personal injury.

WARNING: If the tire pressure

monitor sensor becomes damaged it may
not function.

451

Wheels and Tires

Note: Only use tire sealants in roadside
emergencies as they may cause damage to
the tire pressure monitoring system sensor.

Note: The tire pressure monitoring system
indicator light illuminates when the spare
tire is in use. To restore the full function of
the monitoring system, all road wheels
equipped with tire pressure monitoring
sensors must be mounted on the vehicle.

If you get a flat tire when 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.

Have a flat serviced by an authorized dealer
in order to prevent damage to the tire
pressure monitoring system sensors. See
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (page 446).
Replace the spare tire with a road tire as
soon as possible. During repairing or
replacing of the flat tire, have the authorized
dealer inspect the tire pressure monitoring
system sensor for damage.

Dissimilar Spare Wheel and Tire
Assembly Information

WARNING: 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 wheel and tire,
then it is intended for temporary use only.
