2014 FORD EXPEDITION spare 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 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:Disable the power running boards before jacking,
lifting, or placing any object under the vehicle. Never place your
hand between the power running board and vehicle as extended power
running boards will retract when the doors are closed. Failure to follow
these instructions may result in personal injury.
Note:Passengers should not remain in the vehicle when the vehicle is
being jacked.
Park on a level surface, activate the hazard flashers and set the parking
brake. Then, place the transmission selector lever in positionPand turn
the engine off.

access panel on the floor behind the
third row seat. Unlatch and remove
the panel.

assembly tray from the
compartment by turning the
wing-nut counterclockwise to
relieve tension against the jack
assembly tray. Remove the bag from
the jack and tool assembly tray by
loosening the strap.
Note:Pay close attention to the orientation of the bag, because it will
have to be reinstalled after changing the tire.
3. Unsnap the wheel lug nut wrench, jack extension and handle from the
plastic tray.
4. Remove the jack from the tray assembly.
Removing the spare tire

plug in the bottom of the
compartment for the jack and tools
tray.

assembly through the access hole in
the floor and engage the winch.

chapter.

the jack locator arrows found on the
frame and turn the jack handle and
extension tool assembly clockwise.

17. Remove the jack and fully
tighten the lug nuts in the order
shown and reinstall the wheel cover.
SeeWheel Lug Nut Torque
Specificationslater in this chapter
for the proper lug nut torque
specification.
18. Unblock the wheels.
19. Put flat tire, jack, lug wrench and tools away. Make sure the jack bag
is properly reinstalled around the jack and tools assembly tray with the
strap securely fastened. Be sure to tighten the wing nut sufficiently so it
does not rattle when you drive.
Stowing the Spare Tire
1. Lay the tire on the ground, near the rear of the vehicle, with the valve
stem side facing up.
2. Slide the wheel partially under
the vehicle and install the retainer
through the wheel center. If
equipped, you may have to remove
the wheel center cap prior to
pushing the retainer through the
center of the wheel. To remove the
center cap, press it off with the jack
tool from the inner side of the
wheel. Pull on the cable to align the
components at the end of the cable.
3. Assemble the jack handle and winch extension (as shown in
illustration), then insert the winch extension through the access hole
behind the third row seat and engage the winch.
4. Turn the jack handle clockwise until the tire is raised to its stowed
position underneath the vehicle. The wrench will become harder to turn
and the spare tire winch will ratchet or slip when the tire is raised to
maximum tightness. A clicking sound will be heard from the winch
indicating that the tire is properly stowed.
5. Disassemble the jack tool and winch extension and snap them back
into the tool tray.
