CHANGING THE TIRES
If you get a flat tire while 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.
Temporary spare tire information
Your vehicle may have a temporary spare tire. The
temporary spare tire for your vehicle is labeled as
such. It is smaller than a regular tire and is designed
for emergency use only. Replace this tire with a
full-size tire as soon as possible.
Roadside Emergencies
170

If you use the temporary spare tire
continuously or do not follow these
precautions, the tire could fail, causing you to lose
control of the vehicle, possibly injuring yourself or
others.
When driving with the temporary spare tiredo not:
²use more than one temporary spare tire at a time
²exceed 80 km/h (50 mph) or drive further than
3 200 km (2 000 miles) total under any
circumstances
²load the vehicle beyond maximum vehicle load
rating listed on the tire pressure label on the
inside of the glove compartment door
²tow a trailer
²use tire chains
²drive through an automatic car wash, because of
the vehicle's reduced ground clearance
²try to repair the temporary spare tire or remove it
from its wheel
²use the wheel for any other type of vehicle
Use of a temporary spare tire at any one wheel
location can lead to impairment of the following:
²handling, stability and braking performance
²comfort and noise
²ground clearance and parking at curbs
²wheel driving capability
Tire change procedure
To prevent the vehicle from moving when
you change a tire, be sure the parking brake
is set, then block (in both directions) the wheel
that is diagonally opposite (other side and end of
the vehicle) to the tire being changed.
If the vehicle slips off the jack, you or
someone else could be seriously injured.

jacking point.
To lessen the
risk of personal

vehicle is on the jack.
The jack is only
meant for changing
the tire.

sure the valve stem is facing outward. Reinstall lug
nuts until the wheel is snug against the hub. Do not

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.

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.
To remove the
anti-theft lug nut:
1. Insert the key over
the locking lug nut.
Make sure you hold the key square to the lug nut. If
you hold the key at an angle, you could damage the
key and the lug nut.
2. Place the lug nut wrench over the lug nut key and
apply pressure on the key with the wrench.
3. Turn the wrench in a counterclockwise direction
to remove the lug nut.
To install the anti-theft lug nut:
1. Insert the key over the locking lug nut.
2. Place the lug nut wrench over the lug nut key and
apply pressure on the key with the wrench.
3. Install the lug nut by turning the wrench
clockwise.
JUMP STARTING YOUR VEHICLE
The gases around the battery can explode if
exposed to flames, sparks, or lit cigarettes. An
explosion could result in injury or vehicle damage.
Batteries contain sulfuric acid which can
burn skin, eyes, and clothing, if contacted.
Roadside Emergencies
174

Do not attempt to push-start your vehicle.
Automatic transmissions do not have
push-start capability; also, the catalytic
conveter may become damaged.
Preparing your vehicle
When the battery is disconnected or a new battery is
installed, the transmission must relearn its adaptive
strategy. As a result of this, the transmission may
shift firmly. This operation is considered normal and
will not effect function or durability of the
transmission. Over time, the adaptive learning
process will fully update transmission operation to
its optimum shift feel.
1.
Use only a 12±volt supply to start your vehicle.
2.Do not disconnect the battery of the disabled vehicle
as this could damage the vehicle's electrical system.
3.Park the booster vehicle close to the hood of the
disabled vehicle making sure the two vehiclesdo not
touch. Set the parking brake on both vehicles and stay
clear of the engine cooling fan and other moving parts.
4. Check all battery terminals and remove any
excessive corrosion before you attach the battery
cables. Ensure the vent caps are tight and level.
5. Turn the heater fan on in both vehicles to protect
any electrical surges. Turn all other accessories off.
Connecting the jumper cables
1. Connect the positive (+) booster cable to the
positive (+) terminal of the discharged battery.
Note:In the illustrations,lightning boltsare used
