Your vehicle may be equipped with a conventional spare tire that is
different in one or more of the following: type, brand, size, speed rating
and tread design. If this is the case, this dissimilar spare tire is still rated
for your vehicle loads (GAWR and GVWR). This temporary spare tire is
not equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) sensor.
Note:The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) indicator light will
illuminate when the spare is in use. To restore the full functionality of
the TPMS system, all road wheels equipped with the tire pressure
monitoring sensors must be mounted on the vehicle.
Have a flat tire serviced by an authorized dealer in order to prevent
damage to the TPMS sensor, refer toTire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS)in theTires, Wheels, and Loadingchapter. 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 TPMS sensor for damage.
WARNING:The use of tire sealants may damage your Tire
Pressure Monitoring System and should not be used.
WARNING:Refer toTire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
in theTire, Wheels and Loadingchapter for important
information. If the tire pressure monitor sensor becomes damaged, it
will no longer function.
Dissimilar spare tire/wheel 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 tire/wheel, 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 tire/wheel 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 tire/wheel is defined as a spare tire and/or wheel that
is different in brand, size or appearance from the road tires and wheels
and can be one of three types:
1.T-type mini-spare:This spare tire begins with the letter “T” for tire
size and may have “Temporary Use Only” molded in the sidewall

Each road tire, as well as the spare,
is equipped with a tire pressure
sensor fastened to the inside of the
rim, opposite (180 degrees) from
the valve stem. The signal from each
transmitter is digitally unique to
avoid interference from transmitters
on other nearby vehicles.
Note:The spare has a TPMS
sensor, but is not programmed to
the module.
Changing tires with the TPMS
Care should be taken avoid damaging the sensor and band during
mounting or dismounting. Please refer to the Crown Victoria shop
manual for the complete mount and dismount procedure. This is critical,
as the procedure is different from previous model years due to the
introduction of TPMS.
When a new tire/wheel is installed
When one of your road tires is replaced by a new tire/wheel, the TPMS
sensor located in the new tire/wheel needs to betrainedto the vehicle.
TPMS system training tools
An inexpensive TPMS training tool, P/N 8C2Z-1A203-A, can be
purchased from any Ford dealer for use by the driver or shop technician
for training the system after maintenance has been performed that
requires system training. The Tire Pressure Monitor Activation Tool, P/N
204-363, has more functionality and is designed primarily for shop use.
For either tool, follow the training instructions as outlined below.
Note:This procedure is also included in the Crown Victoria Service
Manual.

TPMS reset tips:
•To reduce the chances of interference from another vehicle, TPMS
reset should be performed at least three feet (one meter) away from
another Ford Motor Company vehicle undergoing the TPMS reset
procedure at the same time.
•Do not wait more than two (2) minutes between resetting each tire
sensor or the system will timeout and the entire procedure will have
to be repeated on all four wheels.
•A double horn chirp indicates the need to repeat the procedure.
TPMS reset procedure
Note:It is recommended that you read the entire procedure before
attempting.
Note:To enter the reset mode, Steps 1–6 MUST be completed within
60 seconds.
1. Place the ignition in the off position and keep the key in the ignition.
2. Press and release the brake
pedal.
3. Cycle the ignition from off to on
three (3) times ending in the on
position—DO NOTstart the engine.

4. Press and hold the brake pedal
for two (2) seconds, then release.
5. Turn the ignition to off—DO
NOTremove the key.
6. Cycle the ignition from off to on three (3) times ending in on—DO
NOTstart the engine.
If the reset mode has been entered successfully, the horn will sound
once, and the TPMS indicator
will flash.
If after repeated attempts to enter the reset mode, the horn does not
sound, and the TPMS indicator
does not flash, seek service from
your authorized dealer.
7. Train the TPMS sensors in the tires using the following TPMS reset
sequence starting with theleft front tirein the following clockwise
order:
1. Left front tire (Front driver’s side)
2. Right front tire (Front passenger’s side)
3. Right rear tire (Rear passenger’s side)
4. Left rear tire (Rear driver’s side)

8.Left front tire:Place the TPMS reset tool against the left front tire
where the tire meets the rim, opposite from the valve stem (1) as shown.
This is where the sensor is located inside the rim.
Both tools, the TPMS training tool (part number 8C2Z-1A203-A)
or the Tire Pressure Monitor Activitation Tool (part number
204-363) must be held against the tire sidewall opposite the valve
stem as illustrated. For the TPMS training tool, the device should
be held as illustrated, with the arrow on the tool pointing
towards the rim; do not use the tool with the arrow pointing away
from the rim as it may not activate the sensor.
9. Press and release the activation button while holding either tool to the
side wall until the horn sounds. The horn will sound once within
approximately 10 seconds to indicate the process was successful.
Note:
•If a double horn chirp is heard, repeat the procedure. If a single horn
chirp is not heard, move the vehicle to rotate the wheels at least a
1 4-turn and repeat the procedure starting with Step 1.
•If the horn does not sound while attempting to reset any wheel, seek
service from your authorized dealer.
10. Perform Steps 8 and 9 on the right front tire, right rear tire and
finally the left rear tire. Training is complete after the horn sounds for
the last tire trained (left rear tire).
Turn the ignition to off. If two short horn beeps are heard, the reset
procedure was unsuccessful and must be repeated.

Is there a problem with transporting a front seat passenger who
has their hands restrained behind their body?
This is not a normal riding position for an occupant. The effectiveness of
the passenger airbag will depend, in part, upon the occupant’s seated
position. It is recommended that the seat should be adjusted as far
rearward as possible for this situation, and that the occupant sit as
upright as possible and be properly safety belted. It is recommended that
such passengers be properly restrained in the rear seat if at all possible.
Can conditions encountered in aggressive pursuit driving
situations (e.g., high speed braking, uneven road surfaces) cause
inadvertent inflation of an airbag that might result in loss of
vehicle control?
No. Aggressive pursuit driving conditions do not fit this criteria. Airbags
are designed to deploy in moderate to major frontal crashes based on the
detection of sudden deceleration by sensors in the vehicle.
