2009 FORD EXPEDITION EL change wheel

WARNING: Do not attempt to change a tire on the side of the
vehicle close to moving traffic. Pull far enough off the road to
avoid the danger of being hit when operating the jack and changing the
wheel.
If your vehicle is equipped with air suspension, refer to Message center
in the Driver Controls chapter for instructions on turning the air
suspension system off.
Refer to the instruction sheet (located in the rear floor compartment
behind the 3rd row seat with the jack tray tools assembly kit) for
detailed tire change instructions.
1. Block the wheels (both front or
both rear) on the opposite end of
the vehicle from the wheel being
changed. If on a grade, block both
wheels on the downward side of the
hill.
2. Turn off the air suspension
system (if equipped - the air
suspension system is controlled
through the message center. Refer
to Air suspension system in the
Driving chapter for more information). Also, turn off the deployable
running boards (if equipped). See Message center in the Driver controls
section.
3. Obtain the spare tire and jack tools from their storage locations.
4. Use the tip of the jack handle to
remove any wheel trim. Loosen each
wheel lug nut one-half turn
counterclockwise but do not remove
them until the wheel is raised off
the ground.

5. Position the jack according to the
jack locator arrows found on the
frame and turn the jack handle and
extension tool assembly clockwise.
Note: Use the frame rail as the
jacking location point, NOT the
control arm.
6. Raise the vehicle to provide sufficient ground clearance when
installing the spare tire; approximately 1/4 inch (6 mm).
WARNING: When one of the rear wheels is off the ground, the
transmission alone will not prevent the vehicle from moving or
slipping off the jack, even if the transmission is in P (Park). To prevent
the vehicle from moving when you change the tire, be sure that the
parking brake is set and block the wheels (both front or both rear) on
the opposite end of the vehicle from the wheel being changed. If on a
grade, block both opposite wheels on the downward side of the hill. If
the vehicle slips off the jack, someone could be seriously injured.
