Changing Tires with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System
Note:Each road tire and full-size
spare is equipped with a tire
pressure sensor located inside the
tire and wheel cavity. The pressure
sensor is attached to the valve stem.
The pressure sensor is covered by
the tire and is not visible unless the
tire is removed. Take care when
changing the tire to avoid damaging
the sensor.
You should always have your tires serviced by an authorized dealer.
Check the tire pressure periodically (at least monthly) using an accurate
tire gauge. SeeInflating Your Tiresin this chapter.
Understanding Your Tire Pressure Monitoring System
The tire pressure monitoring system measures pressure in your four road
tires and sends the tire pressure readings to your vehicle. The low tire
pressure warning light will turn on if the tire pressure is significantly low.
Once the light is illuminated, your tires are under-inflated and need to be
inflated to the manufacturer’s recommended tire pressure. Even if the
light turns on and a short time later turns off, your tire pressure still
needs to be checked.
When a new wheel and tire is installed
When one of your road tires is replaced by a new tire and wheel, the
system sensor located in the new tire and wheel needs to be trained to
the vehicle.
System training tools
Tire pressure monitoring system training tools are available through the
Rotunda catalog or through a Ford dealership. The steps for training the
sensors are outlined below.
System sensor training procedure
Note:To reduce the chances of interference from another vehicle,
system training should be performed at least three feet (one meter)
away from another Ford Motor Company vehicle undergoing the system
training procedure at the same time.

WARNING:To reduce the risk of possible serious injury or
death, do not remove the full size spare tire from the factory
secured location. This location is necessary to achieve police-rated
75 mph rear impact crash-test performance. Removal increases the risk
of fuel leak in high-speed rear impacts.
Note:Passengers should not remain in the vehicle when the vehicle is
being jacked.
Note:For sedan, only the original equipment tire or 245/55R18 tire with
outer diameter less than 725 millimeters will stow in the tire tub.
