Tire Change Procedure
WARNINGS
Only use replacement tires and
wheels that are the same size, load
index, speed rating and type (such
as P-metric versus LT-metric or all-season
versus all-terrain) as those originally
provided by Ford. The recommended tire
and wheel size may be found on either the
Safety Compliance Certification Label
(affixed to either the door hinge pillar,
door-latch post, or the door edge that
meets the door-latch post, next to the
driver ’s seating position) or the Tire Label
which is located on the B-Pillar or edge of
the driver ’s door. If this information is not
found on these labels then you should
contact your authorized dealer as soon as
possible. Use of any tire or wheel not
recommended by Ford can affect the
safety and performance of your vehicle,
which could result in an increased risk of
loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover,
personal injury and death. Additionally the
use of non-recommended tires and wheels
could cause steering, suspension, axle,
transfer case or power transfer unit failure.
If you have questions regarding tire
replacement, contact your authorized
dealer as soon as possible. When one of the front wheels is off
the ground, the transmission alone
will not prevent the vehicle from
moving or slipping off the jack. To help prevent the vehicle from
moving when you change a tire, be
sure to place the transmission in park
(P), 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 the
vehicle slips off the jack, you or
someone else could be seriously injured. WARNINGS
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. 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 the vehicle as extended power
running boards will retract when the doors
are closed. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in personal injury. Failure to follow these instructions
when using the spare tire carrier
could cause loss of the wheel and
tire and lead to personal injury: Only use
the spare tire carrier to stow the tire and
wheel combination specified on the Tire
Label or Safety Compliance Certification
Label on the B-Pillar or the edge of the
driver door. Other tire and wheel
combinations could cause the carrier to
fail if it does not fit securely or is too heavy.
Do not use impact tools or power tools
operating over 200 RPM, which may cause
winch malfunction and prevent a secure
fit. Override the winch at least three times
(there will be an audible click each time)
to ensure a tight secure fit of the wheel and
tire. 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 in park (P) and turn
the engine off.
Removing the Jack and Tools
Note:
Pay close attention to the orientation
of the bag, because it will have to be
reinstalled after changing the tire.
1. Open the liftgate, then locate the access panel on the floor behind the
third row seat. Unlatch and remove the
panel. 2. Remove the jack and tools assembly
tray from the compartment by turning
the wing-nut counterclockwise.
Remove the bag from the jack and
tools assembly tray by loosening the
strap.
3. Unsnap the wheel lug nut wrench, jack
extension and handle from the plastic
tray.
4. Remove the hack from the tray assembly.
Removing the Spare Tire
1. Remove the jack handle and winch extension from the tray and assemble
them.
2. Open the spare tire winch access plug at the bottom of the compartment for
the jack and tools tray. 3. Insert the winch extension tool
assembly through the access hole in
the floor and engage the winch. 4. To remove the spare tire, turn the
handle counterclockwise until the tire
is lowered to the ground and the cable
is slightly slack.
5. Slide the retainer through the center of
the spare tire wheel and remove the
spare tire.
Jacking the Vehicle
Note: Jack at the specified locations to
avoid damaging your vehicle. Front jacking point

Rear jacking point
1.
With the vehicle on level ground, block
both sides of the wheel diagonally
opposite (other side and end of the
vehicle) to the wheel being changed.
Do not jack the vehicle on a hill or
incline.
2. Obtain the spare tire and jack tools from their storage locations.
3. Use the tip of the jack handle to remove any wheel trim.
4. Loosen each wheel lug nut one-half turn counterclockwise but do not
remove them until the wheel is raised
off the ground.
5. Position the jack according to the jack locator arrows found on the frame and
turn the jack handle and extension tool
assembly clockwise. 6. Raise the vehicle to provide sufficient
ground clearance when installing the
spare tire, about 1/4 inch (6
millimeters).
Installing the Spare Tire 1. Remove the lug nuts with the lug
wrench.
2. Replace the flat tire with the spare tire,
making sure the valve stem is facing
outward.
3. Reinstall the lug nuts until the wheel is
snug against the hub. Do not fully
tighten the lug nuts until the wheel has
been lowered.
4. Lower the wheel by turning the jack handle counterclockwise. 300

5. Remove the jack and fully tighten the
lug nuts in the order shown. See
Technical Specifications (page 301).
Stowing the Flat or 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, 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 rachet 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. Disassembly the jack tool and winch extension and snap them back into the
tool tray.
6. Reinstall the jack bag properly around the jack and tool assembly tray, making
sure the strap is fastened.
7. Close the access hole with the rubber plug.
8. Reinstall the tray into the vehicle and secure it with the wing nut.
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. lb.ft (Nm)

NORMAL SCHEDULED
MAINTENANCE
Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor
Your vehicle is equipped with an Intelligent
Oil-Life Monitor that determines when you
should change the engine oil based on how
your vehicle is used. By using several
important factors in its calculations, the
monitor helps reduce the cost of owning
your vehicle and reduces environmental
waste at the same time. This means you do not have to remember
to change the oil on a mileage-based
schedule. Your vehicle lets you know when
an oil change is due by displaying a
message in the information display.
The following table provides examples of
vehicle use and its impact on oil change
intervals. It is a guideline only. Actual oil
change intervals depend on several factors
and generally decrease with severity of
use.
