2013 FORD E SERIES parking brake

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 or changing the
wheel.
WARNING:Always use the jack provided as original equipment
with your vehicle. If using a jack other than the one provided as
original equipment with your vehicle, make sure the jack capacity is
adequate for the vehicle weight, including any vehicle cargo or
modifications.
WARNING:Never use wheels or lug nuts different than the
original equipment as this could damage the wheel or mounting
system. This damage could allow the wheels to come off while the
vehicle is being driven.
Note:Passengers should not remain in the vehicle when the vehicle is
being jacked.
Spare tire information
The spare tire for your vehicle is stowed under the rear of your vehicle
(except cutaway and stripped chassis models).
Park on a level surface, activate the warning flashers, and place the
transmission selector lever in positionP. Then, apply the parking brake
and turn the engine off.
To remove the spare tire:
1. Open the rear doors and remove
the thumb screw and anti-theft
bracket. If finger pressure will not
remove the thumb screw, use the
lug wrench to loosen the screw.
2. Remove the access plug under
the left door.

3. Remove the jack handle from the
right side compartment and insert the
tip of the jack handle through the
access hole and into the tube.
4. Turn the jack handle
counterclockwise until the cable is
slack and the tire can be slid from
under the vehicle.
5. Remove the retainer from the spare
tire.
To stow the cable retainer with the spare removed, turn the jack handle
clockwise until all slack is removed.
6. Block the wheel that is diagonally opposite the tire you are changing.
On E-450 vehicles, the parking brake is on the transmission. Therefore, the
vehicle will not be prevented from moving when a rear wheel is lifted, even
if the parking brake is applied. Be sure to block both directions of the wheel
that is diagonally opposite to the wheel that is being lifted.
7. Remove the spare tire and jack from the storage location.
•The jack is located in the rear
right-hand side of the cargo area.
