2015 FORD MUSTANG Owners Manual

WARNINGS
To help prevent your vehicle from
moving when you change a tire, be
sure to place the transmission in park
(P) or reverse (R) for manual
transmissions, set the parking brake and
block (in both directions) the wheel that
is diagonally opposite (other side and end
of the vehicle) to the tire being changed. Never get underneath a vehicle that
is supported only by a jack. If your
vehicle slips off the jack, you or
someone else could be seriously injured. 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. 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. Note:
Passengers should not remain in your
vehicle when the vehicle is being jacked.
1. Park on a level surface, set the parking
brake and activate the hazard flashers.
2. Place the transmission in park (P) and
turn the engine off. For vehicles with a
manual transmission, place the
transmission in reverse (R) after the
engine is turned off. 3. Block both the front and rear of the
wheel diagonally opposite the flat tire.
For example, if the left front tire is flat,
block the right rear wheel.

4.
Remove the lug wrench, spare tire and
jack.
5. Remove the center ornament from the
wheel if required to access the lug nuts. 6. To remove the wrench from the jack,
turn the hex nut on the jack
counterclockwise. This will lower the
jack and loosen the mechanical lock. 7. Loosen each wheel lug nut one-half
turn counterclockwise but do not
remove them until the wheel is raised
off the ground. Note:
Jack at the specified locations to
avoid damage to the vehicle.

8. The vehicle jacking points are shown
here, and can be identified by the
triangle markings on the vehicle. Details
are depicted on the warning label on
the jack. 9.
Place the jack at the jacking point next
to the tire you are changing. Turn the
jack handle clockwise until the wheel
is completely off the ground.
10. Remove the lug nuts with the lug wrench.
11. Replace the flat tire with the spare tire, making sure the valve stem is
facing outward. Reinstall lug nuts
until the wheel is snug against the
hub. Do not fully tighten the lug nuts
until the wheel has been lowered. If
you are using the temporary tire, the
lug nut washers will not appear to be
flush with the rim. This is normal only
when using the temporary spare tire. 12. Lower the wheel by turning the jack
handle counterclockwise. 13.
Remove the jack and fully tighten the
lug nuts in the order shown. See
Technical Specifications (page
266).
14. To store the folded wrench on the jack, engage the bracket of the jack
base on the wrench feature as shown.
Swing the wrench upwards and
adjust the height of the jack until the
pin engages the hole. Tighten the hex
nut clockwise by hand until secure.

15.
Put the flat tire, wheel ornament, jack
and lug wrench away. Make sure the
jack is fastened so it does not rattle
when you drive.
16. Unblock the wheel.
DRIVING AT HIGH SPEED
Tire pressure - Speeds greater than 100
mph (160 km/h) WARNING
To reduce the risk of potential tire
failure that could lead to serious
injury or death, increase the front and
rear tire placard pressures by the amount
shown on the warning label, located on
either the driver side B-pillar or door, when
driving over 100 mph (160 km/h). Only
travel at speeds over 100 mph (160 km/h)
where it is legal and conditions allow. The
tire placard pressure can be found on the
tire placard located on either the driver side
B-pillar or door of your vehicle. Warning: Failure to follow these
instructions can result in a loss
of vehicle stability due to tire
failure that could lead to serious injury or
death. If you are not sure about the proper
tire inflation pressures, contact an
authorized dealer or service center. Your tires may require additional inflation
pressure for operation at speeds greater
than
100 mph (160 km/h). If this label is
present on your vehicle, you must adjust
the tire pressure accordingly.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Wheel Lug Nut Torque Specifications
WARNING
When a wheel is installed, always remove any corrosion, dirt or foreign materials
present on the mounting surfaces of the wheel or the surface of the wheel hub,
brake drum or brake disc that contacts the wheel. Make sure that any fasteners
that attach the rotor to the hub are secured so they do not interfere with the mounting
surfaces of the wheel. Installing wheels without correct metal-to-metal contact at the
wheel mounting surfaces can cause the wheel nuts to loosen and the wheel to come off
while your vehicle is in motion, resulting in loss of control. Ib-ft (Nm)
