Vehicle Care

PREPARING YOUR VEHICLE
FOR STORAGE

If you plan on storing your vehicle for 30
days or more, the following maintenance
recommendations ensures your vehicle
stays in good operating condition.

Under various conditions, long-term
storage may lead to degraded engine
performance or failure unless you use
specific precautions to preserve your
vehicle.

General

•

Store all vehicles in a dry, ventilated
place.

•

If vehicles are stored outside, they
require regular maintenance to protect
against rust and weather damage.

•

Make sure all linkages, cables, levers
and pins under your vehicle are covered
with grease to prevent rust.

•

Move vehicles at least 25 ft (7.5 m)
every 15 days to lubricate working parts
and prevent corrosion.

•

Fill the fuel tank with high-quality fuel
until the first automatic shutoff of the
fuel pump nozzle.

Engine

•

Change the engine oil and filter prior to
storage because used engine oil
contains contaminants which may
cause engine damage.

•

Start the engine every 15 days for a
minimum of 15 minutes. Run at fast
idle with the climate controls set to
defrost until the engine reaches normal
operating temperature.

•

With your foot on the brake, shift
through all the gears while the engine
is running.

Body

•

Wash your vehicle thoroughly to
remove dirt, grease, oil, tar or mud from
exterior surfaces, rear wheel housings
and the underside of front fenders.

•

Periodically wash your vehicle if it is
stored in exposed locations.

•

Touch-up exposed or primed metal to
prevent rust.

•

Cover chrome and stainless steel parts
with a thick coat of auto wax to prevent
discoloration. Rewax as necessary
when you wash your vehicle.

•

Lubricate all hood, door and luggage
compartment hinges and latches with
a light grade oil.

•

Cover interior trim to prevent fading.

•

Keep all rubber parts free from oil and
solvents.

12 Volt Battery

•

When storing your vehicle for longer
than 30 days the state of charge
should be approximately 50%.
Additionally, we recommend to
disconnect the 12v battery to reduce
system loads on the battery, or you can
use a trickle charger for longer storage
periods.

•

Check and recharge as necessary. Keep
connections clean.

Note:

It is necessary to reset memory

features if you disconnect the battery
cables.

475

Storing Your Vehicle

Tires

•

Maintain recommended air pressure.

•

To minimize flat spots on the tires,
inflate all four tires to the
recommended cold pressures listed on
the Safety Compliance Certification
label or Tire Label affixed to your
vehicle. When the vehicle is taken out
of storage, reset the tire pressures as
necessary to the recommended levels
listed on the Safety Compliance
Certification label or Tire Label affixed
to your vehicle.

Note:

If you store your vehicle in a location

with low ambient temperatures, follow the
instructions for care of summer tires.

Brakes

Make sure the brakes and parking brake
fully release.

Note:

If you intend on parking your vehicle

for an extended period after cleaning the
wheels with a wheel cleaner, drive your
vehicle for a few minutes before doing so to
reduce the risk of increased corrosion of the
brake discs, brake pads and linings.

REMOVING YOUR VEHICLE
FROM STORAGE

When your vehicle is ready to come out of
storage, do the following:
•

We recommend that you change the
engine oil before you use your vehicle
again.

•

Wash your vehicle to remove any dirt
or grease film build-up on window
surfaces.

•

Check windshield wipers for any
deterioration.

•

Check the underhood for any foreign
materials such as mice or squirrel
nests.

•

Check the exhaust for any foreign
materials.

•

Check tire pressures and set tire
inflation per the Tire Label.

•

Check brake pedal operation. Corroded
brake rotors could cause brake noise.
Drive your vehicle and gently apply and
release the brakes repeatedly over a
10-minute drive to reduce the corrosion
from the brakes.

•

Check fluid levels (including coolant,
oil and gas) to make sure there are no
leaks, and fluids are at recommended
levels.

•

If you remove the battery, clean the
battery cable ends and check for
damage.

Contact an authorized dealer if you have
any concerns or issues.

DEPARTMENT OF
TRANSPORTATION UNIFORM
TIRE QUALITY GRADES

E142542

Tire Quality Grades apply to new
pneumatic passenger car tires.
The Quality grades can be found
where applicable on the tire
sidewall between tread shoulder
and maximum section width. For
example:

Treadwear 200

Traction AA Temperature A

These Tire Quality Grades are
determined by standards that the
United States Department of
Transportation has set.

Tire Quality Grades apply to new
pneumatic passenger car tires.
They do not apply to deep tread,
winter-type snow tires,
space-saver or temporary use
spare tires, light truck or LT type
tires, tires with nominal rim
diameters of 10 to 12 inches or
limited production tires as defined
in Title 49 Code of Federal
Regulations Part 575.104 (c)(2).

U.S. Department of
Transportation Tire quality
grades:

The U.S. Department of

Transportation requires us to give
you the following information
about tire grades exactly as the
government has written it.

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 1½ times as well on
the government course as a tire
graded 100. The relative
performance of tires depends
upon the actual conditions of their
use, however, and may depart
significantly from the norm due to
variations in driving habits, service
practices, and differences in road
characteristics and climate.

477

Wheel and Tire Information

Traction AA A B C

WARNING:

The traction

grade assigned to this tire is
based on straight-ahead braking
traction tests, and does not
include acceleration, cornering,
hydroplaning or peak traction
characteristics.

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 A B C

WARNING:

The

temperature grade for this tire is
established for a tire that is
properly inflated and not
overloaded. Excessive speed,
underinflation, or excessive
loading, either separately or in
combination, can cause heat
buildup and possible tire failure.

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. Sustained high
temperature can cause the
material of the tire to degenerate
and reduce tire life, and excessive
temperature can lead to sudden
tire failure. The grade C
corresponds to a level of
performance which all passenger
car tires must meet under the
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard No. 139. Grades B and A
represent higher levels of
performance on the laboratory
test wheel than the minimum
required by law.

INFORMATION ON THE TIRE
SIDEWALL

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.

TIRE REPLACEMENT
REQUIREMENTS

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.

U.S. DOT Tire Identification

484

Wheel and Tire Information

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.

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.

485

Wheel and Tire Information

•

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 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 if
the worn tires still have usable
depth.

To avoid potential Four-Wheel
Drive (4WD) malfunction or
(4WD) system damage, it is
recommended to 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.

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

Replacing a Tire That Is
Greenhouse Gas Certified

The tires installed on this vehicle
at the factory as original
equipment are certified for
Greenhouse Gas and Fuel
Efficiency regulations.
Replacement tires must be of
equal or lower rolling resistance
level (TRRL or Crr). Consult with
your tire supplier(s) for
appropriate replacement tires.

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:

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

486

Wheel and Tire Information

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.

Note:

Do not use snow chains on vehicles

with LT275/65R20 or LT 285/75R18 sized
tires.

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.

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, we recommend that you use
steel wheels of the same size and
specification, as cables may chip
aluminum wheels.

Follow these guidelines when using snow
tires and chains:

•

If possible, avoid fully loading your
vehicle.

•

Use only SAE Class S chains.

•

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

•

Only install snow chains on the rear
axle.

•

For Dual Rear Wheel (DRW) vehicles,
only install snow chains on the outer
wheel of each pair.

•

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

•

Remove the tire chains when you no
longer need them. Do not use tire
chains on dry roads.

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

489).

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!

Use the recommended cold
inflation pressure for optimum tire
performance and wear.
Under-inflation or over-inflation
may cause uneven treadwear
patterns.

Always inflate your tires to the
recommended inflation pressure
even if it is less than the maximum
inflation pressure information
found on the tire. You will find a
Tire Label containing the
manufacturer's recommended tire
inflation pressure by the tire size
and other important information
located 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.

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.

To check the pressure in your
tire(s):

489

Tire Care

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 mile
[1.6 kilometers]), 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.

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)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
Safety Compliance Certification
Label or Tire Label.

Note:

Do not reduce tire pressure

to change the ride characteristics
of the vehicle. If you do not
maintain the inflation pressure at
the levels specified by Ford, your
vehicle may experience a condition
known as shimmy. Shimmy is a
severe vibration and oscillation in
the steering wheel after the vehicle
travels over a bump or dip in the
road that does not dampen out by
itself. Shimmy may result from
significant under-inflation of the
tires, improper tires (load range,
size, or type), or vehicle
modifications such as lift-kits. In
the event that your vehicle
experiences shimmy, you should
slowly reduce speed by either lifting
off the accelerator pedal or lightly
applying the brakes. The shimmy
will cease as the vehicle speed
decreases.

Tire Care

When weather temperature
changes occur, tire inflation
pressures also change. A 10°F
(6°C) temperature drop can
cause a corresponding drop of 1
psi (7 kPa) in inflation pressure.
Check your tire pressures
frequently and adjust them to the
proper pressure which can be
found on the Safety Compliance
Certification Label or Tire Label.

Checking Pressure when tires
are hot:

If pressures are checked after tires
have been driven for more than
three minutes or more than 1 mile,
(2 km) the tires become hot and
the pressures will increase by
approximately 4 psi (27.6 kPa).
Therefore when the tire pressure
is adjusted under these conditions,
it should be increased to a gauge
reading of 4 psi (27.6 kPa) greater
than the recommended cold
inflation pressure.

After inflating the tires while hot,
make sure to recheck tire pressure
later once the tires are cold.

For Example Only

33 psi (230

kPa)

Gauge reading

of hot tire

32 psi (220

The hot tire pressure is only 1 psi

(10 kPa) greater than the

recommended cold inflation

pressure. Therefore, add 3 psi

(20 kPa) more to increase the

hot pressure to 4 psi (30 kPa)

over the recommended cold

inflation pressure.

WARNING:

An inflated tire

and rim can be very dangerous
if improperly used, serviced or
maintained. To reduce the risk
of serious injury, never attempt
to re-inflate a tire which has
been run flat or seriously
under-inflated without first
removing the tire from the wheel
assembly for inspection. Do not
attempt to add air to tires or
replace tires or wheels without
first taking precautions to
protect persons and property.

Tire Care

INSPECTING THE TIRE FOR
WEAR

E142546

When the tread is worn down to
2/32 inch (1.6 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 2/32 inch (1.6
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.

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

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.

493

Tire Care

WARNING:

Do not spin the

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

HIGH SPEED DRIVING CAN BE
DANGEROUS

Correct inflation pressure is
especially important. However, at
high speeds, even with the correct

inflation pressure, a road hazard
for example is more difficult to
avoid and if contact is made, has
a greater chance of causing tire
damage than at a lower speed.
Moreover, driving at high speed
reduces the reaction time
available to avoid accidents and
bring your vehicle to a safe stop.

If you see any damage to a tire or
wheel, replace it with the spare at
once and visit a participating Tire
Retailer.

Exceeding the maximum speeds
shown on the following page for
each type of tire will cause the tire
to build up excessive heat which
can cause tire damage that could
result in sudden tire destruction
and rapid air loss. Failure to
control a vehicle when one or
more tires experience a sudden air
loss can lead to an accident.

In any case, you should not
exceed reasonable speeds as
indicated by the legal limits
and driving conditions.

DO NOT OVERLOAD: DRIVING
ON ANY OVERLOADED TIRE IS
DANGEROUS

The maximum load rating of your
tires is molded on the tire sidewall.
Do not exceed this rating. Follow
the loading instructions of the
manufacturer of your vehicle and
this will ensure that your tires are
not overloaded. Tires which are
loaded beyond their maximum
allowable loads for the particular
application will build up excessive
heat that may result in sudden tire
destruction. Do not exceed the
gross axle weight rating for any
axle on your vehicle.

TIRE ALTERATIONS

Do not make or allow to be made
any alterations on your tires.
Alterations may prevent proper
performance, leading to tire
damage which can result in an
accident. Tires which become
unserviceable due to alterations
such as truing, whitewall inlays,
addition of balancing or sealant
liquids, or the use of tire dressing
containing petroleum distillates
are excluded from warranty
coverage.

494

Tire Care

REPAIRS - WHEREVER
POSSIBLE, SEE YOUR TIRE
RETAILER AT ONCE

If any tire sustains a puncture,
have the tire demounted and
thoroughly inspected by a tire
retailer for possible damage that
may have occurred. A tread area
puncture in any passenger or light
truck tire can be repaired provided
that the puncture hole is not more
than 1/4” in diameter, not more
than one radial cable per casing
ply is damaged, and the tire has
not been damaged further by the
puncturing object or by running
underinflated. Tire punctures
consistent with these guidelines
should only be repaired by
following the US Tire
Manufacturers Association
(USTMA) recommended repair
procedures. Plug-only repairs
done on-the-wheel are considered
improper and therefore, not
recommended. Such repairs are
not reliable and may cause further
damage to the tire.

STORAGE

Tires contain waxes and
emollients to protect their outer
surfaces from ozone and weather
checking. As the tire rolls and
flexes, the waxes and emollients
continually migrate to the surface,
replenishing this protection
throughout the normal use of the
tire. Consequently, when tires sit
unused for long periods of time (a
month or more) their surfaces

become dry and more susceptible
to ozone and weather checking
and the casing becomes
susceptible to flat spotting.

For

this reason, tires should always
be stored in a cool, dry, clean,
indoor environment. If storage
is for one month or more,
eliminate the weight from the
tires by raising the vehicle or by
removing the tires from the
vehicle. Failure to store tires in
accordance with these
instructions could result in
damage to your tires or
premature aging of the tires
and sudden tire failure.

When tires are stored, be sure they
are placed away from sources of
heat and ozone such as direct
sunlight, hot pipes and electric
generators. Be sure that surfaces
on which tires are stored are clean
and free from grease, gasoline or
other substances, which could
deteriorate the rubber. Failure to
store tires in accordance with
these instructions could result in
damage to your tires or premature
aging of the tires and sudden tire
failure.

495

Tire Care

FOLLOW THESE MOUNTING
RECOMMENDATIONS

Tire changing can be dangerous
and must be done by
professionally trained persons
using proper tools and
procedures as specified by the
US Tire Manufacturers
Association (USTMA). Single
or dual assemblies must be
completely deflated before
demounting.

Your tires should be mounted on
wheels of correct size and type
and which are in good, clean
condition. Wheels that are bent,
chipped, rusted (steel wheels) or
corroded (alloy wheels) may
cause tire damage. The inside of
the tire must be free from foreign
material. Have your retailer check
the wheels before mounting new
tires. Mismatched tires and rims
can explode during mounting.
Also, mismatched tires and rims
can result in dangerous tire failure
on the road. If a tire is mounted by
error on the wrong-sized rim, do
not remount it on the proper rim -
scrap it. It may have been
damaged internally (which is not
externally visible) by having been
dangerously stretched and could
fail on the highway.

Old valves may leak. When new
tubeless tires are mounted,
have new valves of the correct
type installed. Tubeless tires
must only be mounted on
wheels designed for tubeless
tires i.e., wheels which have
safety humps or ledges.

It is recommended that you have
your tires and wheels balanced.
Tires and wheels, which are not
balanced, may cause steering
difficulties, a bumpy ride, and
irregular tire wear.

Be sure that all your valves
have suitable valve caps. The
valve cap is the primary seal
against air loss.

TEMPORARY SPARE TIRES

When using any temporary spare
tire, be sure to follow the vehicle
manufacturer’s instructions.

REMEMBER... TO AVOID
DAMAGE TO YOUR TIRES AND
POSSIBLE ACCIDENT:

•

CHECK TIRE PRESSURE AT
LEAST ONCE EACH MONTH
WHEN TIRES ARE COLD AND
BEFORE LONG TRIPS.

•

DO NOT
UNDERINFLATE/OVERINFLATE.

•

DO NOT OVERLOAD.

•

DRIVE AT MODERATE
SPEEDS, OBSERVE LEGAL
LIMITS.

496

Tire Care

•

AVOID DRIVING OVER
POTHOLES, OBSTACLES,
CURBS OR EDGES OF
PAVEMENT.

•

AVOID EXCESSIVE WHEEL
SPINNING.

•

IF YOU SEE ANY DAMAGE TO
A TIRE, REPLACE WITH THE
SPARE AND VISIT ANY
AUTHORIZED RETAILER AT
ONCE.

•

IF YOU HAVE ANY
QUESTIONS, CONTACT YOUR
AUTHORIZED RETAILER.

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 may permit air
leakage and replace the valve
stem if damaged.

Note:

A new valve stem (including

new nut, new washer & new screw)
must be installed whenever a new
tire or wheel is installed.

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

497

Tire Care

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.

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.

WHAT IS THE TIRE PRESSURE
MONITORING SYSTEM

E139232

The tire pressure monitoring
system measures the vehicle's
tire pressures. A warning lamp

illuminates if one or more tires are
significantly underinflated or if there is a
system malfunction.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM OVERVIEW

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:

To determine the

required pressure(s) for your vehicle, see
the Safety Compliance Certification
Label (on the door hinge pillar,
door-latch post or the door edge that
meets the door-latch post, next to the
driver seat) or the Tire Label on the
B-Pillar or the edge of the driver door.

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. 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.

500

Tire Pressure Monitoring System

(If Equipped)

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.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM PRECAUTIONS

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:

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.

Note:

The use of tire sealants can damage

the tire pressure monitoring system.

Note:

If the tire pressure monitor sensor

becomes damaged it may not function.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM LIMITATIONS

When the outside temperature drops
significantly, the tire pressure could
decrease and activate the low tire pressure
warning lamp.

The warning lamp could also illuminate
when you use a spare wheel, or tire sealant
from the inflator kit.

Note:

Regularly checking the vehicle tire

pressures can reduce the possibility for the
warning lamp to illuminate due to outside
air temperature changes.

Note:

After you inflate the tires to the

recommended pressure it could take up to
two minutes of driving over 20 mph
(32 km/h) for the warning indicator to turn
off.
