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. This means that if you need to use it,
you should replace it as soon as possible
with a road wheel and tire assembly 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.

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.

WARNING:

To help prevent your

vehicle from moving when changing a
wheel, shift the transmission into park
(P), set the parking brake and use an
appropriate block or wheel chock to
secure the wheel diagonally opposite to
the wheel being changed. For example,
when changing the front left wheel,
place an appropriate block or wheel
chock on the right rear wheel.

WARNING:

Always use the jack

provided as original equipment with your
vehicle. If using a jack other than the one
provided, make sure the jack capacity is
adequate for the vehicle weight,
including any vehicle cargo or
modifications. If you are unsure if the jack
capacity is adequate, contact the
authorized dealer.

WARNING:

Failure to follow these

guidelines could result in an increased
risk of loss of vehicle control, injury or
death.

and retain to the flange on the lug nuts.

463

Changing a Road Wheel

E162820

Note:

For dual rear wheels, align the

ornament with the lug nuts. (A) is the clip
in the ornament and (B) is the flange of the
lug nut. Make sure that each of the retention
clips are sitting on a lug nut flange.

E162822

Note:

If the ornament retention clips are

aligned between the studs or lug nuts, the
ornament will be improperly installed. This
improper installation may appear and sound
correct, but will not keep the ornament on
the vehicle. Ornaments improperly installed
in this manner may become loose or fall off
during driving.

E162823

Use your hand or a rubber mallet to tap the
ornament until the retention clips snap
over the lug nut flanges. Tap in a star
pattern until the ornament seats fully onto
the wheel. There should be an even gap
between the ornament and the wheel
when it is properly installed.

E162824

Stowing the Flat Tire or Spare Tire

Place the tire on end with the valve
stem facing toward the front of the
vehicle. Lay the tire on the ground, near
the rear of the vehicle, with the valve
stem side facing up.

464

E162800

2. Slide the wheel partially under the

vehicle and install the retainer through
the wheel center. If equipped, you may
have to remove the wheel center cap
prior to pushing the retainer through
the center of the wheel. To remove the
center cap, press it off with the lug
wrench tip from the inner side of the
wheel. Pull on the cable to align the
components at the end of the cable.

3. Reinsert the lug wrench extension(s)

through the rear bumper and guide
tube and turn the lug wrench clockwise
until the tire is raised to its stowed
position underneath the vehicle. The
wrench will become harder to turn and
the spare tire winch will ratchet or slip
when the tire is raised to maximum
tightness. You will hear a clicking sound
from the winch indicating that the tire
is properly stowed, tighten until a
minimum of three clicks are heard.
Check that the tire lies flat against the
frame and is secure.

4. Carefully place all tools back in the tool

kit bag.

5. Reinstall the tool kit bag and tighten

the wing nut.

6. Properly reinstall the jack into the

bracket and tighten the wing nut.

WHEEL NUTS

WARNING:

When you install a

wheel, always remove any corrosion, dirt
or foreign materials present on the
mounting surfaces of the wheel or the
surface of the wheel hub, brake drum or
brake disc that contacts the wheel. Make
sure to secure any fasteners that attach
the rotor to the hub so they do not
interfere with the mounting surfaces of
the wheel. Installing wheels without
correct metal-to-metal contact at the
wheel mounting surfaces can cause the
wheel nuts to loosen and the wheel to
come off while your vehicle is in motion,
resulting in loss of vehicle control,
personal injury or death.
